Process

How a Technology engagement works

01
Discovery & Inventory
Agents systematically document your current-state technology landscape — systems, integrations, dependencies, and debt.
→
02
Gap & Opportunity Analysis
Current state assessed against target capabilities. Automation opportunities scored by ROI and feasibility.
→
03
Architecture Design
Conductor designs target architecture. KERI identity layer specified. Migration path sequenced.
→
04
Business Case Build
Investment cases built for each initiative — board-ready, with risk-adjusted scenarios.
→
05
Roadmap & Handover
Phased delivery roadmap produced. All specifications export to your preferred formats. You own the IP.
Infrastructure

Every engagement is cryptographically evidenced

KERI Identity Stack
Every conductor and agent holds a KERI AID — no central authority, self-certifying key events.
ACDC Credentials
Agent authorities issued as scoped, time-limited ACDC credentials — chained to your engagement inception event.
Immutable Audit Trail
Every action anchored via KERI interaction events. Tamper-evident by architecture — not by policy.
Human Conductor
A named conductor holds the authority credential and is personally accountable for outcomes.
