Glossary

The official SDE terminology — as used in Codento's pitch and across every chapter.

The Bold Ones

Impatient, AI-savvy CEOs and their companies who want to disrupt their own business model before competitors do — they own the AI strategy themselves.

AI Equipping

The proactive arming of an enterprise — process, business model and organisation — for tomorrow's competition. Not 'adoption', not 'implementation' — equipping.

Copilot Trap

Settling for incremental gains from personal-level co-pilot tools while end-to-end processes stay untouched.

AI Fast Lane

The path opened by strategic AI Equipping — maximising AI's business benefits at record speed.

SDE Blueprint

Codento's full toolkit for AI Equipping: Strategy & Foundation, Modular Building Blocks, Operational Engine, Continuous Governance.

SDE Pillars (S-D-E)

Steering Wheel (control), Data Fuel (refined enterprise data), Ecosystem of Agents (interoperable agents across 10 enterprise functions).

Steering Wheel

The central nervous system that translates strategy, legal and operational mandates into unified, real-time execution across all agents — orchestrated by people.

Data Fuel

Refined, vectorised, securely piped enterprise data that gives agents the context and accuracy they need.

Ecosystem of Agents

An interoperable agent framework with ready-made agents across ten core enterprise functions.

SDE 1+1+1

Quick start: 1 agent (or agent module) + 1 control plane + 1 data fuel source. Scale from there along your strategic roadmap.

SDE Immersion

Executive workshop journey — Strategy, Demo, Engage — that produces your AI agent transformation plan.

10x Value

The challenge — not the promise — to aim for 10x improvement in revenue, differentiation and cost via end-to-end disruption.

Codento Engine

Codento's operational engine: documentation, implementation process, the way work gets shipped.

Codento Care

Continuous governance and lifecycle management of your SDE.

50/50 Mode

The strategic endpoint where roughly half of execution is autonomous and half is human orchestration — humans on the loop, not in it.

Inbox Dread

The reactive operator's day spent inside email and approvals — the symptom that the Steering Wheel hasn't been built yet.

Wind Tunnel & Prophet

Strategic simulation lab: stress-test decisions before committing real money or risk.
