# Schema authority for enterprise AI

Without a governed schema layer, every downstream consumer invents its own interpretation — and they disagree silently.

Published June 28, 2026

Schema is where meaning gets pinned down or left ambiguous. When it is left ambiguous, each consuming system resolves the ambiguity its own way, and the disagreement surfaces months later as an answer nobody can reproduce.

A governed schema layer is not documentation. It is an enforceable contract with validation attached, positioned early enough in the supply chain that non-conforming content cannot reach a retrieval index in the first place.

Stage 3

Semantics, in the seven-stage model

The stage where a governed schema layer does its work.

## Definitions

**Context supply chain**

The end-to-end path that sources, structures, validates, retrieves, and governs enterprise context so agents can act on material that is correct, current, and usable. The industry has a name for this work now — context engineering. The context supply chain is how we do it. See also: Maturity level, Retrieval quality

What happens next

1. The interview. Thirty minutes on your schema landscape — optional parts can extend it to forty-five. You leave with a map of the connectors you need and the wiring it will take to reach one governed Core Model — yours either way.
2. A written scope. Fixed price, fixed dates, named deliverables. Published bands; your fee is fixed in the written scope before we start.
3. A rung on the ladder. We recommend starting at the two-week audit.
