The architectural question is whether configuration is enough, or the organisation needs to own and reshape the operating layer itself. Canonical HTML: https://www.praxis-agents.ai/articles/enterprise-ai-subscription-vs-operating-layer - [Building the Operating Intelligence Layer](https://www.praxis-agents.ai/articles/operating-intelligence-layer.md): Why businesses should own their Operating Intelligence Layer, not outsource the translation of business context into action to external tech companies.

Why AI Agents Lose the Thread](https://www.praxis-agents.ai/articles/context-rot.md): Context rot is what happens when long AI runs become crowded with stale outputs and process noise. Learn how explicit state, prompt budgets, and careful compaction reduce drift. Canonical HTML: https://www.praxis-agents.ai/articles/context-rot - [Why AI Agents Give Inconsistent Results](https://www.praxis-agents.ai/articles/why-ai-agents-inconsistent.md): AI agent inconsistency comes from probabilistic generation, changing context, prompt drift, incomplete information, and moving dependencies. Learn how governed systems reduce the risk.

Canonical HTML: https://www.praxis-agents.ai/articles/openclaw-for-business - [AI Agents Are Capacity, Not Seats](https://www.praxis-agents.ai/articles/capacity-not-seats.md): Seat-based software prices individual access. Agent systems are often better evaluated as shared operating capacity, with costs tied to usage, controls, and maintenance.

Canonical HTML: https://www.praxis-agents.ai/articles/why-not-saas ## Primary Technical Sources - Repository: https://github.com/Greg-Asquith/praxis-agents-os - Runtime architecture: https://github.com/Greg-Asquith/praxis-agents-os/blob/main/docs/architecture/agent-runtime.md - Governance architecture: https://github.com/Greg-Asquith/praxis-agents-os/blob/main/docs/architecture/governance.md - Unified roadmap: https://github.com/Greg-Asquith/praxis-agents-os/blob/main/docs/plans/000_MASTER_ROADMAP.md ## Boundaries - Inspect the repository and technical documentation for implemented behaviour. - Business-system integrations, knowledge, persistent memory, and artifacts remain roadmap work unless the repository status changes. - Praxis Agents OS is the open-source project. Greg Asquith is its creator and maintainer. Gregory Asquith Limited supplies implementation services.
