Libraries · Shape library

The primitives behind every configured shape

Forty-five atomic primitives, each one a single operation at a single stage of the eight operational shapes. Everything we configure for a client is assembled from these.

How to read this library

Every primitive does one thing. If it can be expressed as two other primitives, it isn’t one. Every solution shape we configure for a client is a named assembly of these primitives, not a fresh invention.

Primitives are organised by their home op — one of the eight operational shapes. Each one also carries operational dimensions: human-in-loop, cadence, data gravity, integration surface.

The buyer-facing layer, named solution shapes assembled from these primitives, lives on the Solutions pages, organised by industry.
