foundations
- →The Headless EconomyDefinition and thesis of the headless economy — the emerging market where agents discover, evaluate, access, pay for, and consume digital goods and services through machine-native interfaces.
- →Taxonomy of Agent ConsumptionThree models of how agents consume goods and services: as principal consumers, as procurement layers, and in hybrid consumption patterns.
