The factory becomes the product
The idea
Why orchestration, policy, context, and verification are becoming more strategically important than any single generated artifact.
The project behind it
The umbrella initiative connecting agent systems, control, context, observability, and the tools required to build the next set of tools.
What changes when the product is no longer the code, but the factory that produces outcomes?

The review checks the available evidence. Missing evidence returns the work for revision; sufficient evidence lets it proceed.
