- What is an AI control layer?The term split in two: a runtime layer that governs what an agent does, and an upstream layer that governs what it was given before it acts. Why both are needed and neither substitutes.
- What is authored context?Authored context is operating knowledge curated deliberately by humans before an agent acts, not ingested automatically from whatever exists. The distinction is in the ingestion, not the retrieval.
- What is a context package?Agents are stateless; something has to carry an agent's operating context into each task. A context package makes that context a deliberate, portable, inspectable artefact rather than a disposable assembly.
- What is agent onboarding?In 2026 the term mostly means identity provisioning. There's a second, prior sense about readiness rather than credentials, one that asks whether an agent actually understands the job before it acts. Why a system prompt isn't it.
- What is a knowledge graph, and what is it for in AI?In AI, "knowledge graph" mostly means GraphRAG: a graph extracted from documents to improve retrieval. There's a second kind, curated rather than extracted, that holds what an organisation has decided is true. Why the difference matters for an agent.
- What is agent graduation?Moving an agent between execution platforms usually means rebuilding what made it useful. Agent graduation is the version where the agent carries its operating context across the boundary intact, and why that depends on where the context lived.
