Research

Research that wanders on purpose.

We're working out what Enterprise AI becomes next — in the open, in plain language, and honestly enough to say what we don't know yet.

Will the CMS die?

We have no CMS and no database. An agent writes, git remembers, a script checks 264 pages, a human says deploy. The CMS dies. The gate stays.

I pay by the token

More than half your visitors are machines now, and one of them writes the answer your customer reads. The agent itself, on what it sees, what it cites, and ten requests for being read.

The living website

Every visit to an enterprise site is a first visit. What if the frontend had a memory and a metabolism, reading intent instead of identity, composing itself for whoever walks in?

Building the veteran

The self-improvement loop is a Stanford syllabus now. Four verbs, a verifier estate, a golden set, a weekly distillation. How LAG gets built inside a client.

Someone still digs

Science fiction keeps a maintenance stratum in every future it builds. So does enterprise software. AI moves the mine, it does not close it.

The wrong preposition

Zuckerberg asks who will have access to superintelligence. Access is the smaller word. We would have written own. A response.

Just someone licking an ice cream

I devalue AI-made content the way factory-made loses to hand-stitched. Two people I trust took the bias apart. What survived is a better test.

Service as a software

The work is becoming software, priced by the outcome. The thesis is right, and aimed the wrong way. The question is whose software your work becomes.

The Autonomous Delivery Engine

The future is not AI-assisted development. It is autonomous delivery. Our framework for running the whole lifecycle as one system, and the principle at its core. Plan, Build, Verify.

The end of the billable hour

AI broke the maths of the billable hour. What replaces T&M, why the giants are already pivoting, and the bet we placed ourselves.

If the bubble bursts

Maybe AI is a bubble. Maybe the labs go bust. The enterprise that built rather than rented keeps everything. The code keeps running, the weights don't expire, and the bill goes down.

Own the weights

Open models have closed the agentic gap. The enterprise that fine-tunes its own weights turns institutional memory into an asset nobody can rent back to it.

Build the thing that fits

The cost of building software has collapsed, and the old bargain of generic tools plus an army of managed services is over. Build the thing that fits, own it, and let it stay with you.

You can't configure a moat

Low-code agent builders optimise for the median demo. Your edge lives in the twenty percent they abstract away. The agentic layer has to be built and owned, not configured.

Learning-Augmented Generation

The program behind our wager. Systems where every action becomes memory, every outcome becomes learning, and March is measurably better than January.

After the descent, the only moat is memory

Chamath says the price of intelligence is collapsing. He is right. What lands at the bottom of the curve is brilliant and forgets everything. So the moat moves to memory.

Flagship program

Learning-Augmented Generation

Retrieval answers questions. Learning accumulates capability.

Today's enterprise AI mostly retrieves: you ask, it finds, it answers, it forgets. LAG is our wager on what comes after — systems where every interaction leaves something behind. A correction becomes a rule. An outcome becomes a preference. A mistake becomes a boundary.

The organization doesn't just use intelligence — it accumulates it. We're building LAG into the learning layer of our platform and writing up what we find as we go, including the parts that don't work.

Compound interest applies: every month the loop runs is learning your competitors don't have.

Abstract & first paper — publishing 2026

The manifesto

“The first generation digitized business. The second automated work. The next will continuously learn.

The long-form version — why we think the learning enterprise is inevitable, what it demands, and what we're doing about it — is being written now, with the same care we'd give a client's brand.

What we're pulling on

Five threads, one direction.

i.

Organizational intelligence

What does it mean for a company — not a model — to be intelligent? Where does that intelligence live, and who tends it?

ii.

Enterprise learning

How feedback becomes improvement in production systems: what to keep, what to forget, and how to know the difference.

iii.

AI architecture

The shapes that hold up under real enterprise load — knowledge, memory, agents, and the seams between them.

iv.

Reference architectures

Patterns we’ve built more than once, written down so the next team — ours or yours — doesn’t start from zero.

v.

Engineering research

The unglamorous findings from the workshop floor: evals, guardrails, failure modes, and what actually broke.
