Terms of use
The terms on which this site and its material are made available, and what you may do with them.
Who publishes this site
This site, contextualagenticenterprise.com (also reached at contextualagentic.com), is
published by Hanif Karimi, the author of The Contextual Agentic Enterprise. It is a
personal publishing site. Contact details are on the contact page.
Views are the author’s own
Everything published here — the articles, the series Letters from the Contextual Agentic Enterprise and CAE Field Notes, the book and the companion material — expresses the author’s own views. It does not represent the views of any employer, client or other organisation the author works or has worked with, and none of them has reviewed or endorsed it. Examples are illustrative; they do not describe any particular organisation.
Not professional advice
The material is published for information and education. It is not legal, security, regulatory, financial or other professional advice for your situation, and no outcome is guaranteed by following it. Decisions about your systems, controls and obligations should be made with advice from people who know your circumstances.
Copyright, and what you may do with each kind of material
Unless a page says otherwise, all material on this site is © Hanif Karimi.
| Material | Licence | In short |
|---|---|---|
| The book, and extracts from it | All rights reserved | Quote short passages with attribution. Do not reproduce chapters, figures or substantial parts without written permission. |
| Articles and series pieces, here and on LinkedIn | All rights reserved | Quote a short passage with attribution and a link to the article’s page here. Republishing an article in full, on any site or platform, needs written permission. |
| Diagrams and figures | All rights reserved, unless the figure says otherwise | Link to the page rather than copying the image. |
| Reader Toolkit downloads | CC BY-NC 4.0 | Use, adapt and share them inside your organisation, with attribution to Hanif Karimi and this site. Not for commercial use — do not sell them or include them in a paid product or service. |
| Companion code | The licence in its repository | The repository’s licence file is the authority for code, not this page. |
Attribution means naming Hanif Karimi, the title of the piece, and linking to its page
on contextualagenticenterprise.com.
Articles republished on LinkedIn are adaptations of the pieces published here first. The page on this site is the original and the one to cite.
Other people’s material and names
Articles cite third-party standards, reports and papers; those remain their owners’ work and are quoted for commentary and review, with the source given. Product, company and organisation names are the trademarks of their owners and are used only to identify them. Their use implies no endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation.
Companion code access
Access to the private companion repository is given to readers who sign in with GitHub and answer a question from the book, as described on the companion code page. Access is personal. Sharing your access, or redistributing the repository’s contents beyond what its licence allows, ends the permission, and access may be removed. Access may also be removed if it is misused or the repository is retired.
Links to other sites
Links to other sites are provided for convenience. Their content and privacy practices are their owners’ responsibility.
Availability
Nothing here is a commitment to keep a particular page, download or service running, with one exception: addresses printed in the book will be kept resolving, because a printed address cannot be corrected.
Purchases
Books are sold by retailers, not by this site. This site takes no payment and holds no payment details. Refunds, delivery and returns are matters for the retailer you bought from.
If something is wrong
If you believe something here infringes your rights, or is inaccurate, use the contact form and say what and where. It will be looked at promptly, and removed or corrected where that is warranted.
The calculators and interactive tools
This site carries interactive tools: a multi-agent simulator, a POC-to-production cost model, an architecture explorer and a pattern finder. They exist to make an argument legible, not to price your programme.
- Every figure is an estimate produced from the numbers you enter, using defaults that are reviewed occasionally and dated in the page. They are not pricing, financial, legal or procurement advice, and they are not a quote.
- No vendor is endorsed. Product and service names identify a category of thing; they belong to their owners, no affiliation is implied, and coverage judgements are opinion, not measurement.
- Model prices and platform capabilities change constantly. Use your own contract pricing and your own platform’s current documentation before making a decision.
- Evaluation figures shown in the tools are worked examples, not benchmarks of any product.
- Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, stored, or seen by anyone, and reloading the page discards it.
- No warranty. These tools are offered as they are. Decisions you take using them are yours, and I accept no liability for them. If a number matters, check it against your own data.
