AI code generation with human quality gates for SMBs

## Description
```
GhostFoundry-Syndicate is an AI-powered software development operation that delivers custom business software at 60-80% less cost than traditional development.

Unlike "vibe coding" tools that generate spaghetti, our Dark Factory pipeline enforces engineering discipline at every step:

🔒 GATE-CONTROLLED PIPELINE
Intake → Architecture → Visual Review → Deliverable Approval → Code Generation → Deployment

Every gate requires human approval. Nothing ships without sign-off.

## First Comment (from maker)

Hey PH! 👋

I'm Scott, founder of GhostFoundry-Syndicate.

I spent years watching small businesses get destroyed by enterprise software implementations — massive budgets, endless timelines, and solutions that were "close enough" but never quite right.

So I built Dark Factory — an AI code generation engine that pairs the speed of AI with the discipline of a real engineering pipeline.

The key insight: AI is incredible at generating code, but terrible at knowing WHEN to generate it and WHETHER it's right. That's why we have human approval gates at every stage.

The result: custom software that matches your actual workflows, delivered in weeks, at a price that competes with SaaS subscriptions.

I'd love your feedback. What would you want to build with this?
