Field notes on production AI.
What is Interpreted Context Methodology?
ICM replaces brittle agent frameworks with a deceptively simple primitive: folders. Here’s why structure beats orchestration.
Production-grade agents without frameworks
You don’t need LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen to ship. A directory, a runner, and a strict context discipline outperform most of them.
Auditing an AI workflow in 30 minutes
A repeatable checklist I use on every consulting engagement to find the cheapest wins in an existing AI pipeline.

What teams say after the engagement.
“David rewired our agent stack in two weeks. Latency dropped 60%, costs by half.”
“ICM is the first methodology that made sense to my whole engineering team.”
“The audit alone paid for the entire engagement inside a month.”
