When responsibility is distributed, the work can be technically complete while remaining hard to explain. Orbweaver turns an approved, evidence-backed workflow snapshot into something people can inspect, compare, discuss, and retain.
meaning → review → memoryThe intended boundary
Execution and facts
Authentication, data retrieval, orchestration, retries, action execution, retention, and the translation of domain records into evidence-backed semantic snapshots.
Review and understanding
Validation, deterministic rendering, semantic inspection, annotations, comparison, and portable artifacts. It never needs to own your credentials or run your workflow.
“Live” means a current host-produced semantic snapshot—not an uncontrolled stream of changing pixels. The host decides when a snapshot is refreshed or retained.
Where it helps
Agent-assisted delivery
Intent, implementation, test evidence, review, release, rollback, and accountable human approval.
CI/CD review
Build, test, security, deployment, rollback, and evidence relationships without making Orbweaver the pipeline.
Incident recovery
Signals, hypotheses, mitigations, owners, decisions, and unresolved risks as a reviewable snapshot.
Legacy workflows
Business processes, exception paths, planning flows, and cross-application dependencies made inspectable.
A trustworthy workflow
An agent may propose a graph, annotation, or revision. It does not establish that a relationship is factually true. Validation checks the contract; people and responsible systems still decide what to rely on.
The natural next question: what changed?
Stable entity and relationship IDs make workflow snapshots comparable over time. A changed approval gate, missing evidence path, new dependency, or recovered exception route can become an explainable semantic difference—not just a fresh diagram.
- Retain stable identities across snapshots.
- Carry status, evidence, annotations, and timestamped provenance as explicit data.
- Compare semantic changes before interpreting operational significance.
- Publish a portable artifact when a review or decision should outlive the host application.
Execution belongs to the workflow system. Shared understanding belongs in the semantic artifact.
