ATOM • maturity boundary

Same model. Different maturity.

The model holds across domains — what changes is how proven it is. Knowledge work is where it is strongest today. Engineering and coding-agent work is the adjacent lane: the same primitives underneath, but specialist-led until the proof is there.

Knowledge work

Proven today

The strongest current evidence — where source authority, context, drafting, review, and handoff drive the result.

Meetings Research Follow-up Sales & GTM Documents Client delivery Operating rhythm

Engineering & coding agents

Emerging

Coding agents act on production code, secrets, and irreversible changes — so it stays specialist-led until sandboxing, test and CI evidence, review, and rollback are proven.

Code review Pull requests Test repair Migrations CI triage Refactors Incident response

The same primitives run under bothonly the domain contracts change

Work object Source state Context contract Skill/agent contract Promotion decision Receipt Deterministic gate Rollup Loop

The honest boundary is the useful part. Deliver where it is proven, and build after proof where it is still emerging.
