The EXA Field Guide.
A growing body of work on Enterprise Experience Architecture — written for the practitioner who has lived through design system decay, and the executive who needs a framework to govern what AI builds next.
Four articles. One complete framework.
The diagnosis, the framework, the discipline, and the practice — each article stands alone, the four together form a complete operating model for enterprise product experience in the agentic era.

What comes next.
The framework grows. Each series builds on the last — from economic translation to the generative frontier to the governance of the people who run it all.

EXA vs. SDD
Reconciling Enterprise Experience Architecture with the engineering spec-driven-development movement — and defending the "constitution" term before it is colonized by adjacent frameworks.
The Generative Frontier
Who governs what agents generate in real time, when there is no static surface to specify? The frontier of governed agentic delivery — culminating in the Agentic Experience Architect.
