for in-house engineering teams and agencies
Governed systems: compose, compile, run
Operative helps teams build systems that are stable under change and fast to iterate. Operative believes that systems should be defined structurally, before they run, so what is running, who authorised it, what it knows and what it can do are settled in one declaration. Operative supports two tools: daedal for composition; and aidion for operation.

Partners
Structure lets your team build faster and change a running system with confidence, on the substrates it already runs or on aidion.
Foundations
daedal compiles a composition on a published theory of composition. aidion operates a running system on the principles of distributed operation.
Approach
The declaration that settles a system's form can also settle the system's business rules, governance and use of models, knowledge and agents.
About
Lachlan Douglas and Richard Heycock founded Operative and built daedal and aidion.
