DVA: A Deterministic Verification Tool to Prevent Reckless AI Edits

DVA (Deterministic Verified Application) is a controlled modification system designed on the principle of "only modify what is authorized, preserve everything else."

This system follows a strict process as below:

• Baseline Setting: Establishing an exact reference point before starting work
• Change Plan Development: Creating a limited-scope change plan based on explicit instructions
• Execution and Verification: After applying only approved actions, verifying the result against the original and the approved transformation plan

DVA fundamentally blocks 'drift' — the phenomenon where AI infers intent to expand scope, or performs unnecessary modernization, structural changes, or cleanup work. It is optimized for structured data work such as software, standards documents, and archives, where reckless modifications can damage the entire system.
