Three stages. Two gaps.
The gaps are where the work lives. Stage transitions, not stages, are billable - and only when the next stage runs.
Functions. Tools. Humans.
Not bad. Just where the world was. Most firms run on this shape today.
Same shape. AI inside the tools.
Every tool grew an AI feature. Productivity climbed 10-30% per seat. Workflows, KPIs, and roles did not move.
AI faster. Tickets still queue.
When the workflow is the bottleneck, making one step inside it faster does not fix the queue. It just makes the wait at the next step longer.
A function is a cube.
The team plus its agent fleet, sitting on a substrate of identity, memory, observability, and eval. Workflows are loops, not tickets.
Rebuilding the function realigns the whole operating system — structure alone was never the point.
It dips before it lifts.
Every real transformation spends throughput before it earns it back — the old way is dropped before the new way is mastered. Anyone promising a straight line up is selling the lie that kills the program. We keep the dip shallow by shipping one loop at a time.
Sequenced by what runs in prod.
No phase gate. The next step starts when the previous one is live and signed. Five steps; the first four are 80% of the value.
The agent-* suite is the backbone.
Twelve protocols across TypeScript, Python, and Rust. The parts of the transition we do not bill you to invent. Full catalog.
DID + capability VCs. did:key, did:web. Three functions, zero blockchain.
Content-addressed manifests. Byte-deterministic hash-chained transcripts.
Portable replay bundles. Double-signed tool-call receipts.
Agent-to-agent RPC. Federated rooms. Noise-XK handshake.
Shared notebook every teammate's AI reads. Pages decay if untouched.
L402 + DID-signed invoices. Agent-to-agent payments demoable on Lightning regtest.
Multi-repo health bot. OIDC-trusted release publisher with SLSA provenance.
In-house Rust agent runtime. Persistent memory, bounded autonomy, HITL.
Three formats. One sequence.
Most clients start with discovery, decide if a blueprint is worth it, and only then commit to build-out. Pricing is a conversation; no pricing on the page.
Where you are vs. where you can be. Diagnostic across cube layers, one chosen function, audit of existing AI footprint.
- · current-state diagnostic
- · one-page blueprint for the next 90 days
- · honest yes/no on fit
Architecture spec plus the first loop wired end-to-end. Picks one function, gets one cube into production.
- · architecture spec (substrate + first cube)
- · identity + observability live
- · first loop closing in prod
One cube live per quarter, year-one to seven. Amplification across functions. We hand over operations as cubes mature.
- · one new cube per quarter
- · internal team takes over each cube
- · year-one to seven of org-as-constellation
The honest negative list.
Other firms do these well. We don't. If your need is one of them, ask us for a referral, not a proposal.
Start with discovery.
One to two weeks. We tell you honestly where you are and what the next 90 days could look like.
