The Great Unbundling: When Every Process Becomes a Service
As a founder of a company that began by mapping how work actually gets done, through observing keystrokes, application usage, and the digital breadcrumbs of daily operations, I’ve had a front-row seat to a profound shift. For years, we helped enterprises visualize their workflows, revealing the messy, human-driven reality behind their pristine process diagrams. Today, that observational foundation is leading us to a place even more transformative: a world where enterprise processes are no longer confined to departmental silos or static playbooks, but are dynamically delivered as services by networks of intelligent agents. We are entering the era of The Great Unbundling.

Demystifying AI:
Inference
You have invested millions in training a sophisticated AI model. It understands your products, your customers, and your compliance requirements.

Inference is the moment potential converts to performance, and where most executives discover their infrastructure cannot deliver.

Relationship Riddle
A father and son have a car accident and are both badly hurt. They’re taken to separate hospitals. When the boy is taken in for an operation, the surgeon says, “I can’t operate on this boy, he’s my son!” How is this possible?
