Research, Guides & Papers
Whitepapers, mini books, research papers, and practical guides on AI delivery — governance, observability, production operations, and the SpanForge platform.
The AI Delivery Crisis
AI investment is accelerating. Delivery is stalling. This whitepaper diagnoses why — and maps a path from perpetual pilots to systems that actually run in production.
RFC-0001: SPANFORGE — Open Event-Schema Standard for AI Compliance
