Engineering Roadmap

Where the substrate is heading.

A public, opinionated view of the next eighteen months of work. We share it because partners deserve foresight, not surprise — and because methodology without horizon is maintenance.

Strategic Themes

Three threads run through every quarter

Calm Cognition

Reduce the cognitive tax of every interface our users touch — measured in saccades, not clicks.

Resilient Substrate

Make every dependency replaceable, every secret rotatable, every failure observable.

Civic Intelligence

Build for the institutions society depends on — hospitals, grids, courts — not just the ones with the biggest budgets.

The Timeline

From shipping today to the horizon

ShippingIn BuildPlannedHorizon
Now

Q2 2026

Cognitive Substrate v3

Shipping

General availability of our latency-budgeted reasoning runtime — sub-200ms p99 across enterprise tenants.

Edge Intelligence Mesh

Shipping

Hardware-attested inference at the edge with deterministic fail-over and ambient telemetry.

Civic Ethics Charter v2

In Build

Updated public charter codifying our societal-impact review process — open to stakeholder input.

Next

Q3 2026

Liquid Knowledge Graphs

In Build

Continuously-curated graph layer that lets analysts query operational state in natural language without dashboards.

Drift Sentinel

In Build

Always-on model-drift bench wired into the deployment pipeline — failures fail loudly, not quietly.

Studio Mode

Planned

Designer-grade authoring surface for line-of-business teams to compose intelligence without writing code.

Engineering

Q4 2026

Quantum-Ready Crypto

Planned

Migrating the data plane to post-quantum primitives ahead of regulatory deadlines, with zero-downtime cutover.

Operator Co-Pilot

Planned

First-party assistant for plant, fleet and trading-floor operators — instrumented for cognitive load, not novelty.

Horizon

2027 +

Civic Infrastructure SDK

Horizon

An open SDK for public-sector partners to build sovereign intelligence systems on the OC-Intelligence substrate.

Long-Horizon Research Lab

Horizon

A standing R&D programme into post-LLM reasoning architectures, in partnership with two European universities.

How we steer it

The roadmap is opinionated, not fixed.

Every quarter, principal engineers and partner enterprises sit in a single room and re-rank the work. Items move; promises don't. If a milestone slips, you hear it from us first.

  • Quarterly horizon resets with named partners
  • Public changelog of milestone movement
  • Ethics review on every horizon item
