Playbook

The master curriculum for building agentic AI products. Follow the trajectories to establish technical trust and market signal.

01
Phase 01 Protocol
Active Trajectory

Validation Signal

Verify the friction before writing code.

Strategic Logic

Beginners build features; Experts find pain. You must synthesize the top 3 frictions your agent will solve through high-fidelity user interviews.

Established Signal Required

Tactical Milestones

1
Execute 10 deep-dive user interviews.
2
Identify the 'Zero-to-One' automation trigger.
3
Document the competitive gap in the registry.
02
Phase 02 Protocol
Active Trajectory

Cognitive Foundations

Build the 'Brain' of your agent.

Strategic Logic

Establish the core logic node. Master RAG architecture and semantic memory before attempting advanced fine-tuning.

Established Signal Required

Tactical Milestones

Initialize the core LLM reasoning loop.
2
Implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
3
Establish the technical stack transparency.
03
Phase 03 Protocol
Active Trajectory

Feedback Engine

Prove your agent works better than a human.

Strategic Logic

Automated testing is the only way to scale. Measure faithfulness, relevancy, and hallucination rates using objective benchmarks.

Established Signal Required

Tactical Milestones
