Manifesto
The IANDE Manifesto
Collective Cognition, Enterprise-Ready.
Before the name, there was a choice. In Tupi-Guarani, there are two words for "we." Ore means we, but not you: the exclusive plural. Nande (also written iande) means we, all of us together: the inclusive plural. We chose the inclusive form. That choice is architecture: it defines how we work, what we build, and who we become alongside our clients.
We believe the enterprise is broken in a specific way.
The enterprise is not broken because it lacks technology. It is broken because it has too much disconnected technology: layered, siloed, and decaying without system coherence. AI was often added as another layer on top of that fragmentation. Another vendor. Another dashboard nobody trusts.
The problem was never a shortage of intelligence. The problem is a shortage of coherence.
We exist to make complex systems coherent.
Not by replacing existing systems, selling a new platform, or producing slideware. We work inside real enterprise architecture under real constraints and real deadlines. Strategy that does not execute is fiction. Engineering without strategy is noise. We do both, and we stay until it works.
What we hold to be true.
AI is shared operational capacity, not automation theater. Systems must preserve human authority while improving decision quality and speed.
Value emerges from interaction, not isolation. We design for relationships, feedback loops, and emergent behavior.
Systems must co-evolve. Organizations, markets, models, and regulations change; static systems fail.
Orchestration, not dependency. We work across ecosystems so clients become stronger, not more locked in.
What we refuse.
We refuse to build AI that nobody uses.
We refuse to produce strategy decks that end in a drawer.
We refuse to call a demo production.
We refuse to treat governance as an afterthought.
We refuse innovation theater without engineering discipline.
We do the work others call impossible.
Complex, fast, risky, politically sensitive, and deeply embedded problems are the starting point, not the edge case. Our Lab builds, tests, and integrates custom AI systems in real enterprise environments, under real governance and real timelines, in production.
On the name.
The word iande in Tupi-Guarani reflects a shared way of seeing the world: not mine or yours, but ours. The name also maps to a constellation used for orientation and seasonal cycles: a shared navigation reference, not an individual claim. We carry that word forward as an operating principle, not decoration.
The work ahead.
Products and services that integrate frontier AI into existing enterprise platforms quickly, safely, and without vendor lock-in.
An open practice of research, frameworks, and tools for builders committed to coherent, human-centered AI systems.
A standard of execution where strategy and engineering remain one discipline through production and evolution.
We are the inclusive we: coherence as strategy, and collective intelligence as execution.
