The complete operating reality of the organization — objectives, KPIs, goals, initiatives, lifecycle state, relationships, decisions, evidence, commitments, policies, and outcomes. Without it, there is no SpineWorkspace. Everything else connects through it. |\n| **Business Contextual Spine Fabric** | The tenant-scoped system that IS the organization's business context. The shared organizational context, truth, work, evidence, history and continuity substrate. It is not merely a database — it is what the system knows, what is true enough to operate on, what is happening, what was decided, and what happened next. |\n| **IntegrateWise** | Infrastructure platform for connected human-AI work and organizational continuity. |\n| **SpineWorkspace** | Primary product and shared work environment. Exists to make Business Context actionable for humans and AI together. |\n| **Human Workbench** | Primary user-facing operating surface inside SpineWorkspace. |\n| **AI Workbench** | AI-side operating environment for Twin and Spine Agents. |\n| **Business Contextual Spine Fabric** | Shared organizational context, truth, work, evidence, history and continuity substrate. |\n| **Business Context Memory / Organizational Memory** | Durable organization-owned memory that has passed the appropriate governance/promotion boundary. |\n| **Personal Contextual Memory** | User-bound personal work continuity, private by default. |\n| **AI Continuity Memory** | Twin/agent working continuity; not canonical business truth. |\n| **Work** | Durable unit of human-AI coordination and handoff. |\n| **Twin** | Contextual human-facing cognitive co-worker. |\n| **Spine Agent** | Governed AI worker operating on Work and authorized Spine context. |\n| **Projection Engine** | Sole composer of authorized versioned Workbench/context contracts. |\n| **One Auth-to-Ecosystem** | Identity, tenant, consent, scope, delegation and service-principal authority context. |\n| **Integration Manager** | Connection lifecycle, OAuth, mappings, webhooks, discovery and sync policy. |\n| **Activation Manager** | Administrative surface for activating tenant capabilities/context. |\n| **Activation Bridge** | Runtime compiler of configuration, connections, identity, context, policy and capabilities. |\n| **Continuity Bridge** | Distribution/access boundary for external AI/application surfaces. |\n| **IW Spine Network MCP** | Hosted outward MCP boundary for IntegrateWise. |\n| **MCP Pool** | Inward tenant registry of approved MCP servers/tools. |\n| **ADK** | Agent Development Kit and governed agent runtime contract. |\n| **Capability Fabric** | Provider-neutral registry/resolver for how authorized intent can be performed. |\n| **Governance** | Authority boundary: allow, deny, require approval or bounded delegation. |\n| **Hermes** | Coordinator of approved execution and its operational lifecycle. |\n| **Outcome Event** | Observed provider result, not automatically verified truth. |\n| **Verification/Reconciliation** | Expected-vs-actual closure that determines whether business reality changed as intended. |\n| **Continuity Run** | Traceable lifecycle from intent through execution, outcome, reconciliation and rehydration. |\n| **OODA** | Internal Observe-Orient-Decide-Act interaction grammar. Embedded into every natural user action, not exposed as literal UI buttons. Users experience work that already carries context; OODA is the machinery making that possible. |\n\n## Retired/constrained concepts\n\n- \"AI Orchestrator\" as a monolith\n- \"Spine database\" as the product definition\n- Direct agent canonical writes\n- Provider success as final truth\n- Continuity Bridge as the full product\n- MCP as the core data plane\n- A blank manually-built workspace as onboarding\n"}
