Work with ContextOS.

Two ways to bring a substrate-first method to your AI operations product.

Engagement 01

Substrate audit.

Two weeks. Fixed price. One deliverable.

A written substrate spec for your product's next twelve months. Thread catalog, stimulus channel taxonomy, heartbeat policy, confidence-routing model, surface assignments per persona. Same shape as the specs that run OrderHubX.

Best for: Series A / B AI-native SaaS teams that shipped a chat box first and now realize they need a substrate. Teams whose product surface has outgrown its event model. Founders who can describe what their agents do but not what threads their agents live on.

What you get:

  • A read-through of your existing event log, API surface, and product flows
  • A written thread catalog with triggers, terminal events, and hand-offs
  • A stimulus channel inventory with trust scores per source
  • A heartbeat policy and a confidence-routing model calibrated to your product
  • A surface-assignment matrix per persona
  • One working session to walk your team through every decision

Engagement 02

Fractional architect.

Three to six months. Deep involvement. One product.

I pick the substrate primitives with your team, write the spec documents, train your engineers on the method, and stay until the substrate is load-bearing in production. Available for one engagement at a time.

Best for: Founders building AI-operations products from scratch who want the substrate right before the UI is drawn. Teams rebuilding an existing product around an event-sourced substrate. Companies where the architecture decision is the product decision.

What you get:

  • Working specs for triggers, threads, stimuli, heartbeats, and surfaces — authored alongside your engineers, not handed over
  • ADR-style architectural decision records for every substrate choice
  • Weekly design sessions and async review on PRs that touch the substrate
  • A trained engineering team that can author substrate specs after I leave
  • One production deployment of the method before the engagement ends

Both engagements start with a conversation.

Describe the product, the team, and where the substrate is breaking. I'll tell you whether an audit or an engagement is the right shape, or whether neither is.
