A dated changelog of what shipped from the studio this quarter — agent surfaces, evaluation harnesses, and engagement-model updates now live across active client motions.
It exists to mark what shipped, when, and where it landed. The longer thesis pieces live under Briefs. This format is short on purpose.
Three studio engagements crossed production this quarter. Two are in the operate phase; one is in the architect-to-build transition. From those motions, the studio shipped three new skill files into the shared library and one new engagement-model variant. The shape of each is below.
account-research.md v2 shipped.Pulled into two active engagements. Replaces the v1 single-pass research run with a structured retrieval-plus-synthesis pattern. Halves the run cost; improves the trace by an order of magnitude.
demo-composer.md released.New surface. Composes a hypothesis-led demo from an inbound signal plus the company's deployed system topology. First two production runs landed against the original sales motion they were tuned for.
pricing-math.md generalized.The per-seat-to-consumption math we ran for the first engagement is now a generalized skill. Bring an existing per-seat schedule, get back a consumption equivalent with the revert path built in.
New shape. A senior operator embedded 60–80% time, owning the motion until the client team takes it. Two pilots running. Will be formalized as a standard engagement in Q2 if both exit cleanly.
The eval harness shipped with every engagement absorbed the latest model-layer upgrade without rewriting a single skill file. This is the contract: skill files survive model drift.
Three threads carry forward. One: the content-engine retrieval layer, currently in design across two engagements, ships as a generalized skill file pair in early Q2. Two: the pricing-math skill gets a second variant for outcome-pricing schedules, paired with the underwriting playbook the studio has been running internally. Three: the operator-in-residence pilot either graduates to a standard engagement or gets retired against the second pilot's exit criteria.
The next studio note ships in the second week of May.
