# Compound V > *"You don't tell people you're injecting them with Compound V. You just hand them the spec and watch them go faster."* — internal Vought memo, probably Compound V is a **transparent interceptor** that sits between Superpowers phases AND, as of v1.0, a **lightweight execution orchestrator** — the orchestrated pipeline is now the default execution path. You don't invoke it directly — it fires automatically at four transitions: **Stage −1 — Pre-Evaluation / triage (v2.9; three-tier as of v3.0).** *Before* Trigger 0 even offers recon, a fast, cheap **Pre-Evaluation** scores the change request on two separate axes (difficulty ⊥ impact) from deterministic tiered evidence and returns one of three tiers: **DIRECT** (implement in place, run the floor, commit on the current branch — no manifest, no run directory, no reviewer dispatch, but a triage record is still written and committed), **SCOPED** (manifest, run directory, scope gate, floor and one combined SPEC+QUALITY review; recon and the three pre-flights are skipped), or **FULL** (the pipeline below, unchanged). It uses no raw LLM magnitude and fails closed on any ambiguity, sensitive-path touch, or shared-token/a11y surface. Iron Invariant #4, amended: **the score OFFERS by default; it auto-routes only inside the DIRECT auto-route class, whose membership is decided by mechanically checkable predicates and never by model judgement, and every other tier still requires a human offer and acceptance.** A sibling **po...
