# Roadmap

ContextStack tracks delivery through five horizons. Horizons report sequencing
and current status; they do not replace the North Star's definition of done.

## Delivery horizons

### H0 — Reliability baseline · **closed green 2026-06-19**

The exit gate required a ≥70% verified pass rate. The measured result was **93%**
with a **+5%** verifier lift. The `kernel → node → gateway → csworker` path and
seven targeted seams were demonstrated. This is real factory-substrate evidence,
not evidence that the organizational product is complete.

### H1 — Operator surface and overnight lanes · **active**

H1 exercises shadow cohorts at sustained volume and closes the security controls
needed before unattended work can scale. Those controls are not all landed.

The current command center is still a CLI and trace view. H1 being active does
not mean the finished Bot roster, workrooms, approval inbox, or intelligence view
exists. The organizational product surface belongs to later horizons.

### H2 — Mission layer · **pending**

The first narrow, productized responsibility reaches A1 graduation and uses the
production executor path. The goal is one earned mission layer, not a generic UI
claiming every kind of work.

### H3 — Hardening and first dark lane · **pending**

Concurrency expands, governed learning activates, and the first revertible action
class earns A2 with automatic compensation. Structured collaboration begins only
where responsibility genuinely diverges.

### H4 — Dark factory and organization steady state · **pending**

Level 5 operating criteria become an active gate: goal-only operation,
closed-loop improvement, adjudication hardening, and long-horizon stability.
The organizational surface and expansion by durable responsibility mature here.

H4 is the final delivery horizon. It is not, by itself, proof that the North Star
has been reached.

## The thirteen-box finish line

ContextStack reaches its North Star only when all thirteen conditions close under
versioned verification specifications, minimum evidence windows, and independent
completeness review:

1. **Delegation is the interface.** People assign outcomes instead of authoring
   workflows.
2. **The organization is durable.** Bot identity and responsibility survive
   processes, models, machines, and time.
3. **One executor, no second loop.** Bot work uses the governed Kernel, Node,
   UAH2, and Gateway path.
4. **The majority runs dark.** Routine work completes without contemporaneous
   human intervention under measured policy.
5. **Model independence.** Removing one provider changes cost or latency, never
   identity or canonical state.
6. **Economics are measured and improving.** Cost per accepted outcome trends
   down at equal-or-better verified quality.
7. **The existing estate is absorbed.** Standing automations become Bot-owned
   missions, collectors, or retired capabilities with no orphan work.
8. **Learning compounds without silent drift.** Promotions are measured,
   reviewed, versioned, and reversible.
9. **Authority is never ambient.** Every irreversible action resolves explicit or
   evidence-earned, revocable authority for that action class.
10. **Collaboration is inspectable.** Commitments, handoffs, and evidence bundles
    retain one accountable owner and reconstructable history.
11. **The operator surface is an organization.** Command center, Bot roster, Bot
    workspaces, shared workrooms, approval inbox, and intelligence view render
    canonical Kernel truth.
12. **The stack builds itself.** Most ContextStack changes land through its own
    guarded, evidence-backed lanes.
13. **Ownership is total.** Definitions, state, memory, evidence, and ledger can
    be exported and restored without a rented identity dependency.

None of these conditions is claimed closed by this public page. Missing, stale,
or incomplete evidence fails closed and can reopen a previously accepted result.

## Availability

ContextStack is in active development. There is no generally available product,
pricing plan, or beta today. Use the updates form on the [home page](/) to hear
when that changes.
