Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Citizen development enables business users to create and modify applications using low-code development platforms, which enhances efficiency and reduces reliance on IT departments. However, citizen development needs to be practiced with clear oversight and guardrails, rather than treated as an open-ended sandbox. Uncontrolled citizen development can introduce challenges such as unmonitored shadow IT, data security gaps, and maintenance risks. This article presents a structured DevSecOps process for citizen development in enterprise environments, based on 42 projects involving more than 100 citizen developers at a large German financial institution. The tailored process balances innovation and collaboration with robust security measures and provides actionable insights for organizations to safely leverage citizen development.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
