Can you point to a successful commercial product built in this manner?

  Not OP, but I’m not really getting what you are asking for?

    As in, a commercial software product where a specification is maintained in parallel with the actual product.

      Since you say “commercial” software I’m confused. Would that exclude medical software, aerospace software? If what you are getting at is that it is not widely used/not used in anything “successful” and thus just a pipe dream, then I understand your concern. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be a useful strategy for some fields nor that it couldn’t produce more reliable systems.

        I wouldn't exclude anything, but if the only examples of this are those kinds of highly immutable, mission critical software I think that would speak volumes about the practicality of maintaining a spec (the approach OP was pitching).
