The company,in versioncontrol.

Operating Code is a versioned, approved specification of how your company runs: every process, rule, exception, approval and dependency, with the evidence behind each line. People read it. Agents run it. Operators change it.

AnatomyOne rule, line by line

Every line has a source. Every change has an owner.

HistoryDiff, review, roll back

Change the company the way you change code.

Every version keeps its diff, its evidence and its signatures. Compare any two. Roll back to any one.

GovernanceWho decides

An inference is never an approval.

Kiwi proposes

Rules, exceptions and changes, each with the evidence behind it.

Operators decide

The accountable owner signs. Nothing becomes policy before that.

Everything is recorded

Who proposed, who approved, what changed and why.

Before productionReplay and simulate

Test the change on the past.

Before v1.2 touches a live order, Kiwi re-runs it on the orders you already processed. Variants compete on the same history. The best one ships when an operator approves it.
