Proto-first operational contracts

Cross-product workflows are grounded in explicit contracts that keep operational behavior consistent between products.

Operating problem

Operational chains fragment when integrations rely on implicit behavior instead of versioned contracts.

Pillar commitments

  • Contracts are versioned and product-scoped.
  • Cross-product behavior is reviewed through explicit interface changes.
  • Typed service boundaries reduce integration ambiguity.

How this pillar operates

These steps describe how the platform principle is applied through implementation and route-level verification.

  1. Step 1

    Define contract boundary

    Product teams publish typed interfaces for events and RPC surfaces.

  2. Step 2

    Propagate state transitions

    Execution updates traverse product boundaries through contract-defined payloads.

  3. Step 3

    Verify with route-level evidence

    Product and solution pages link contract claims to implementation-backed references.

Validation checklist

  • Interface changes are explicit and versioned.
  • Cross-product transitions are represented in named contracts.
  • Published claims trace to contract and code evidence.

Proof model

Platform-level proof

  • Platform documentation defines reusable contract-oriented building blocks.
