Evidence-gated go-to-market roadmap

One workflow.
Multiple runtimes.
Expansion earned by evidence.

Abstract

Ouroboros turns ambiguous intent into an approved specification, an evaluated result, and reusable operating assets. This roadmap describes how that workflow moves from an open-source engine and public product surfaces to runtime partnerships and, only after field evidence, enterprise delivery.

Decision brief

A proposal for a controlled Kiro validation, not an open-ended sponsorship.

Decision requested

Nominate a Kiro technical counterpart and agree to scope one user situation, one representative task, and one twice-run pilot.

Bounded support

Integration review, controlled usage credits, access to an agreed user cohort, and joint evidence review.

Go / no-go gate

Proceed only if the user approves the Seed, the result passes predeclared criteria, the second run reuses prior assets without rebuilding context or procedure, completed requirements remain intact, repeat-use intent appears, and intervention and operating cost can be recorded.

Owners and review

Sergio is the proposed Ouroboros owner for implementation and measurement. AWS/Kiro would nominate one counterpart for platform review and pilot access. Public claims require mutual written approval.

01

The commercial thesis

The product is the specification-and-evaluation workflow. Platforms are distribution and execution surfaces, not the identity of the product.

I

Clarity before execution

The system does not build until the user's intent is explicit enough to become a specification.

II

Criteria before approval

A result is judged against declared acceptance criteria, not against whether it merely looks convincing.

III

Assets after every loop

Each cycle leaves a Seed, workflow, evaluation record, and lineage that can reduce repeated explanation and setup.

02

The invariant workflow

The loop remains stable while the execution environment changes.

Roadmap by evidence, not dates

Each horizon opens only when the preceding evidence exists. Sequence is intentional; timing is not promised.

FoundationVerified

Open engine and multi-runtime execution

The workflow exists as an open-source engine with runtime integrations, including Kiro among the supported environments.

  • Specification-first core
  • Evaluation and lineage primitives
  • Runtime-independent product thesis
  • Public source and release history
2
Public proofPlanned validation

Agree the first pilot contract, then validate public reach

The canonical current gate is to define one user situation, one representative task, a baseline, and observable success and failure criteria. ChatGPT Hosted entry is planned; official directory submission and external activation remain unverified.

  • First user situation and representative task
  • One complete user workflow
  • Second-run reuse evidence
  • Operating cost and human intervention record
3
Runtime partnershipsConditional

Co-validate the same workflow inside partner environments

The proposal for AWS and Kiro is a bounded joint validation: prove that specification quality and evaluation discipline improve completion inside Kiro without making Ouroboros dependent on one platform.

  • Reference integration
  • Joint user pilot
  • Usage credit for controlled testing
  • Evidence-led case study
4
Enterprise deliveryConditional

Add control only when real customers require it

Self-hosting, compliance controls, and service commitments remain candidates until field demand and willingness to pay are observed.

  • Data-boundary requirements
  • Audit and approval controls
  • Service-level requirements
  • Repeatable deployment economics
5
Workflow economyConditional

Distribute workflows only after portability is proven

A marketplace is considered only after workflows are accumulated, reused, and shown to transfer beyond a single user's context.

  • Portable domain workflows
  • Third-party contribution controls
  • Measured reuse
  • Sustainable distribution model

What is true now

Claim status is part of the product. Verified facts, active work, and conditional plans are never blended.

05

A bounded proposal for AWS and Kiro

The ask is not generic sponsorship. It is a proposed controlled validation intended to produce implementation evidence, user evidence, and a publishable decision.

Joint work

  1. Define one Kiro user situation and one representative task.
  2. Connect the Ouroboros Interview–Seed–Evaluate loop without platform lock-in.
  3. Run the task twice to test reuse, not only first-run completion.
  4. Publish findings only after both parties approve the evidence.

Requested support

  • A technical counterpart for Kiro integration review
  • Controlled usage credits for the pilot
  • Access to an agreed pilot user cohort
  • A joint review of the resulting case study

Ouroboros contributes

The open workflow engine, the integration boundary, pilot instrumentation, evaluation design, and maintainership.

The partnership should produce

A reproducible integration, measured user evidence, an explicit go/no-go decision, and a jointly approved public narrative.

06

Success is observed, then priced

No unsupported targets are published. The pilot first defines how each signal is measured; target values follow observed baselines.

CompletionDid the task satisfy every declared specification item and pass verification?
PreservationDid the second run preserve what was already complete?
ReuseDid the next run use the previous Seed and workflow without rebuilding context and procedure?
Delegated timeHow much agreed manual work did the workflow replace?
Human interventionWas intervention an expected approval point or repeated reconstruction?
Operating costCan runtime, support, and maintenance cost be attributed per workflow?
07

Publication and negotiation policy

Conservative language protects both the product and the counterparty.

We will

  • Label every claim as verified, active, proposed, or conditional.
  • Link expansion to a measurable gate.
  • Keep Ouroboros independent of any one model, runtime, or cloud.
  • Seek mutual review before publishing partner claims.

Not Todo

  • No invented launch dates, market sizes, savings, or adoption numbers.
  • No implication of OpenAI, AWS, or Kiro approval, sponsorship, or endorsement.
  • No enterprise security, compliance, SLA, or self-hosting promise before requirements are contracted.
  • No marketplace timeline before workflow portability is demonstrated.
  • No token economics, cryptocurrency narrative, or speculative fundraising language.

Sources and status note

  1. Product philosophy, workflow, success measures, and roadmap gates follow the canonical Ouro-labs GTM repository.
  2. Open-source implementation evidence is maintained in Q00/ouroboros.
  3. Platform and partner names identify compatibility or a proposed validation surface. They do not imply endorsement or a commercial relationship.
  4. This public roadmap is a decision framework, not a commitment to ship on a fixed date.
