Memos

Technical memos on production AI agent reliability. State drift, context engineering, decision architecture, and structural failure modes.

Every Multi-Agent Framework Ignores the Same Problem

Read →

CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph — they all orchestrate agents. None of them govern what context travels between agents. That's the gap where production failures hide.

The Vocabulary Problem in Agent Infrastructure

Read →

Categories are made of words. Agent infrastructure has no canonical vocabulary, so every vendor invents one and every buyer compares apples to oranges. The category cannot mature until the language does.

MCP Solved the Pipes. Who Solves the Water Quality?

Read →

The Model Context Protocol connects agents to everything. But connecting is not governing. Without a context graph, MCP delivers raw, unvalidated, unscoped data to every decision.

Context Engineering in 2026: From Karpathy's Tweet to Production Infrastructure

Read →

Everyone talks about context engineering. Nobody says how to build it. The context graph is the missing implementation. Not an opinion. An architecture.

How Context Graphs Prevent the 7 Silent Agent Failures

Read →

Production agents fail silently — not from bad prompts, but from bad context structure. Here are the 7 failure modes that context graphs eliminate before they compound.

Gartner 2026 Confirms It: The Context Graph Is the Missing Layer in Autonomous AI Agents

Read →

Gartner's 2026 predictions for data and analytics describe an autonomous agent future. Every prediction points to the same architectural gap: agents need context graphs to make reliable decisions at scale.

Why Your Data Agents Need a Context Layer

Read →

The bottleneck isn't model capability — it's context. Without a structured context layer, data agents fail because enterprise data is messy and undocumented.

Why RAG Is Not Enough for Production AI Agents

Read →

RAG improves recall but does not govern decisions. For production agents that take action, the gap between retrieval and reliability is structural.

Why Agent Memory Architectures Fail at Scale

Read →

Session memory, vector stores, and thread-based memory all degrade under production load. The problem isn't storage — it's structure.
