Engines

Modular systems that power areas of focus.

An Engine is a self-contained operating unit that powers a specific business domain. Each engine has its own agents, its own loops, its own Canon protocols, and its own accountability. Engines compose into a complete operating system.


Anatomy of an Engine

Every engine is a self-contained operating unit.

01

Agents

Specialised intelligences operating within the engine's domain. Defined roles, defined boundaries.

02

Loops

Continuous engines within the engine — each with lifecycle phases and phase gates.

03

Canon Protocols

Domain-specific governance rules that constrain how the engine operates.

04

Workflows

Coded automation sequences that execute the engine's operations. Monitored, versioned, observable.

05

Data Layer

The engine's own data domain — bronze/silver/gold medallion architecture with clear ownership.


Active Engines

Three engines running today.

RevOps Engine

Revenue Operations

Contact enrichment, pipeline management, signal processing, and outreach orchestration. The revenue machine.

Creative Engine

Brand & Content

Site management, deploy pipelines, content strategy, and the creative strategist agent. The brand machine.

Knowledge Engine

Institutional Intelligence

Canon vault management, meeting/email ingestion, semantic search, and the three-layer knowledge architecture.

Installation Modules

Six modules. Start small, compound over time.

When INSTIG8 deploys AOS, the minimum viable installation is Modules 1 + 2 + 6. The system proves its value before adding complexity.

01

System Foundation

Cloud infrastructure, vector database, agent connections

02

Meeting Memory

Auto-capture, AI enrichment, semantic search

03

Communication Memory

Email ingestion, thread resolution, summaries

04

Canon Vault

Versioned knowledge base of institutional truth

05

Canon Extraction

Auto-extract decisions from events into Canon

06

Agent Integration

Intelligence layer tying everything together
