# Iridae

> Iridae is the game industry's decision substrate.

It gives humans and AI agents a structured, continuously updated model of games, markets, evidence, and uncertainty, plus capabilities for forecasting, causal analysis, planning, experimentation, and decision execution.

General AI handles intent, conversation, and orchestration. Iridae supplies the domain state the agent should not invent: what games are actually comparable, what evidence supports a claim, how observations transport to a specific commercial situation, which causal conclusions are justified, what futures are plausible, which actions preserve optionality, and which uncertainty is worth resolving next.

Iridae is not a chatbot, not a suite of SaaS products, and its web applications are not privileged product backends. Latent Spark, Anchored Horizon, Patient Cartographer, and Subtle Beacon name roles bound to understand, forecast, plan, and learn — not four products to buy. Its systems expose the same underlying capabilities to humans, agents, and other software under explicit authorization, provenance, commercial, and epistemic constraints.

In short: **AI agents provide the interface and general reasoning; Iridae provides the grounded game-industry world model and decision machinery.**

Understand → Latent Spark. Forecast → Anchored Horizon. Plan → Patient Cartographer. Learn → Subtle Beacon. Each role can be used alone; together they are one loop.
