Actionist Knowledge Graph
P03 · Supply knowledge node

Curated capability shelf

Hand-curate the first high-value software capabilities—Notion-like notes, Airtable-like data, calendar, CRM, support, files, approvals—before trying to automate the whole internet.

Problem boundary

What this subsystem owns and what it must hand to the rest of Actionist.

What it owns

  • Top-100 candidate shortlist
  • Capability-level descriptions
  • Quality and adaptation scoring
  • Recommended reuse shape and supported archetypes

What research already found

  • 500 OSS candidates and 118 commercial builder surfaces are already registered
  • Stars and metadata do not establish adaptation quality
  • SISOCRM proves that engines, product surfaces and infrastructure need different ownership choices

Open first-principles questions

  • Which top 100 capabilities recur across the 17 industries?
  • What does quality mean per capability kind?
  • Should Notion/Airtable-like systems remain services, embedded modules or transplants?
  • How many complete systems versus small blocks belong in v1?

Inputs

  • ProductSpec demand
  • GitHub corpus
  • Local estate
  • Platform dossiers

Outputs

  • CuratedCapability
  • CapabilityMap
  • ReuseDecision

Scientific research protocol

Every research owner uses the same evidence funnel. No padding is allowed when a denominator is inapplicable or evidence is unavailable.

Prior evidence auditRead the canonical spine, all domain-linked artifacts, the 17-industry catalogue and existing contradictions before searching again.
Commercial 100 → 10Define a denominator, map approximately 100 companies/products, and produce first-party dossiers for the strongest 10.
GitHub 100 → 10Search and dedupe approximately 100 relevant OSS projects, then deeply inspect the strongest 10 at the capability and architecture level.
Local estate joinInspect AutoSaaS, Great Library, SISOCRM, 21st stores and other domain-specific precedents already on the laptop.
Innovation 100 → 10Generate a wide divergent idea register, score it against the problem and retain the 10 strongest falsifiable innovations.
First-principles synthesisDecompose the irreducible problem, challenge inherited assumptions, reconcile contradictions and state the minimum sufficient design.
Contracts and experimentsReturn the proposed contract, dependency edges, unknowns, falsifiers, experiments, stop rules and decisions.
Independent verificationA separate verifier checks counts, links, source claims, overlap, contradictions and unsupported conclusions before promotion.

Evidence and agent outputs

Existing research remains source evidence. New agent packets are written to one owned workstream directory and linked here after verification.

Agent-sized objective

Create a human-reviewed top-100 shelf ranked by client value, product quality, seam clarity and measured adaptation cost.
