Glossary

The words, defined once.

A site that coins terms owes the reader definitions. Each one below links to the page where the term does its work — so you can check the definition against the thing itself.

How we work

Agentic AI
Seen on: Services
Software that plans and carries out multi-step work — reading context, choosing actions, using tools — instead of answering one prompt at a time. Every agentic system we ship keeps a human gate.
The human gate
Seen on: Method
A named person approves or stops each phase. An agent proposes; a person approves. The gate is architecture, not a promise — the system cannot skip it, and scope, price and anything that ships stay with a name.
The discovery week
Seen on: Services
Week one of every engagement: we map the process, the data and the risk. It ends with a written brief, a capability map, and a pilot scope with a price — in writing.
The decision log
Seen on: Method
The running record of why a system grew the way it did — kept during the build, handed over at the end. It is what makes a handover honest in both directions, and what makes a security review fast.

How we mark what is true

The honesty grammar
Seen on: Method
Three marks, read the same way in every context: ● live, offered, or in production today · ◐ building or under evaluation · ○ chartered or pre-launch, not yet offered. A mark is never upgraded for a nicer sentence.
The Charter Index
Seen on: Services
The company's registered main object, typeset as a capability index — fourteen lines, each carrying an honest mark. It publishes the gap between what the charter permits and what we offer today instead of hiding it: the charter is wider than the brochure, and both are true.
The Law of Proof
Seen on: Services
We will not show client logos we do not have. Until the logos are real, the five self-funded products are the evidence — real screens, honest marks, openable by anyone — and every number on this site is one we can defend.
Machine gates
Seen on: Method
Checks that fail hard rather than filing a warning: the colour audit, which fails the build itself, and the zero-leak language gate, which fails the QA run against the built site — blocking every English–Hindi crossing outside one founder-sealed allowlist. No exceptions, including for us.

Inside the products

Named specialist agents
Seen on: Method
Agents with one job each and a name, rather than one general assistant. Every product we ship runs them — the cross-portfolio signature, alongside a memory layer and human gates.
The Mandala
Seen on: InkSmith
InkSmith's arrangement of eleven agents around a writer: two sovereigns — Chakravarti for deep research, Lakshya for launch strategy — and nine rishis carrying outline through final review. The writer holds the pen.
The Gita (story memory)
Seen on: InkSmith
InkSmith's cross-chapter story memory: the structure that keeps a long book consistent with itself as it is written, chapter after chapter.
Artifact Dependency Graph
Seen on: TheVibeManager
TheVibeManager's map of how a project's artifacts depend on each other, so that changing one thing does not let the rest drift out of agreement with it.
Harness engineering
Seen on: TheVibeManager
TheVibeManager's own framing of what makes AI reliable: the harness around the model — the gated lifecycle, the Artifact Dependency Graph and the six-agent relay — rather than the prompt.

The name

adhunik
Seen on: About
Hindi, adjective: modern; of the present age. The company took the word as a name, and as a standard it agreed to be held to, in writing. The Hindi self of this site renders it in its own script.

If a word on this site is not in this list and needed defining, that is a defect. Tell us: info@adhuniklabs.com.
