Findings, not just opinions
What curating real briefs across these demos has actually shown, tested against the material rather than argued from principle.
Shorter, more frequent observations, not yet tested into a named pattern, live in the field log. The patterns named in this section are indexed in the vocabulary.
The Context Stack
Seven layers of business context, derived from what's already load-bearing across the site's own demos and case studies, not invented for this page.
02How Context Debt shows up
Five recurring failure patterns behind context debt, named and evidenced from the Context Debt Map's own twelve fragments, not invented for this page.
03Testing the patterns on real material
The five context-debt patterns, run against something real: this site's own codebase, not another fictional company.
04The pattern that only shows up in the batch
51 lifestyle images, generated one category at a time. Every one of them passed on its own; the page they made together didn't.
05Fidelity drift
The same batch that surfaced batch blindness surfaced a second pattern: synthesis isn't reproduction, and fine product detail doesn't reliably survive it.
06The Context Stack under agents
What happens to curated context once it has to survive a handoff between agents, evidenced against Signal & Flow's live architecture, not hypothesised for this page.
07The debt came due
The hand-kept lists the August piece called accurate started drifting two hours later. One page then spent 29 days missing from the sitemap.
