A system of intent for the future of work.
You're systematically capturing decisions, intent, and rationale — which is the company's IP. This may be more valuable than the codebase itself.
We tried documentation. We tried wikis. None of it stuck. 3Square captures context as a byproduct of how we already work. That's the difference.
Decision compromises are not systematically captured. Technical risk accumulation is invisible until major issues surface — which can cost us millions.
Speed needs
direction
…because what’s the point of going faster if you’re going the wrong way?
AI makes more decisions than people can oversee. So how to keep them aligned if what matters is unstated and always changing?
Make intent explicit. Align every decision.
Encode what mattersand why.
Capture explicit decisions with reasoning. Agent-led as a byproduct of work.
Turn decisions into direction.
