AI Capabilities Stack

This diagram maps how applied AI capabilities stack.

Agentic stack planes cover execution (what you build and run) - from integration-style foundations through memory and agentic behavior - and how they connect to the tracks and lessons ahead.

Enterprise planes cover people, culture, governance, strategy, and economics for executives and sponsors.

From there you can see what tends to come first, what depends on what, and where your own work might sit, so you can prioritize and plan with a clearer picture than ad-hoc lists of tools.

Agentic Stack Planes

Execution-oriented layers from UX through observability - what you ship and operate. Tool tags match the glossary for canonical product and protocol names.

Enterprise Planes

People, culture, governance, strategy, and economics - complementary to the agentic stack. Topic tags align with enterprise plane entries in the glossary (themes and artifacts, not vendor product names).

Maturity Dependency Chain

Footer row 1: Integration → Data Eng → RAG → Memory → AR/VR (emerging) · Enabling: AI SDLC + Cost Mgmt · Row 2: Enterprise planes (People → … → Economics)

Key Differentiator

Memory ≠ RAG · Governance outside the agent · Planes as risk surface map

How to use

Select a track tab to filter relevant planes. Click an agentic row for product and protocol tags; click an enterprise row for people, culture, governance, strategy, and economics topics. Track cards show round dots (agentic) and square markers (enterprise).
