How we think about AI, software and control.

Six theses, each starting as a concise claim and expanding into a visual model and a dedicated page. They are the reasoning behind our roadmap; the home page is the short version.

Thesis 01 AI SDLC control model

The AI Software Development Evolution Model

AI software development is evolving through levels of control, from manual coding to deterministic toolchains and formal domain systems. The durable advantage comes from governed leverage, not autocomplete alone.

Thesis 02 Workflow ceilings and model economics

AI in Software Development Has a Ceiling

Smarter models still help, but today’s software lifecycle imposes a practical ceiling. The opportunity shifts toward contextual specialization, lower token dependence, and cost-efficient execution on infrastructure teams already own.

Thesis 03 Agentic coding adoption and market structure

The Agentic AI System Approach for Coding Adoption Life Cycle

Agentic coding adoption is splitting between pipeline-native systems outside the developer PC, IDE-native agentic workflows inside it, and mainstream augmentation built on commodity models. Crossing both chasms requires repeatable, governed systems, not assistant usage alone.

Thesis 04 Engineering quality alignment

Bringing Consistency to Engineering

Software engineering is harder than coding because organizations rarely share an operational definition of work well done across security, privacy, resilience, compliance, cost, and value. AI's deeper opportunity is to make those trade-offs more consistent, transparent, and auditable.

Thesis 05 TCO, tokens, and infrastructure capacity

AI Software Is Becoming a Token Economy

AI software is increasingly constrained by the economics of tokens, total cost of ownership, and infrastructure scarcity. The durable advantage shifts toward forecasting consumption of tokens with Moltke, measuring detailed usage with Solon, reducing opacity, and choosing architectures companies can actually afford and secure capacity for.

Thesis 06 System architecture, orchestration, and enterprise fit

The Model Is Not the Product. The System Is.

Enterprise AI value is shifting away from raw model power toward orchestration, memory, tools, security, agentic workflows, and architectures tailored to real operating constraints. The durable product advantage lives in the governed system around the model.
