The Operating Systemfor OrganizationalContext
Context Spine helps you keep track of what's happening, why it matters, and how it's changing so you can act with understanding instead of guesswork.
Everything you need for
organizational intelligence
A complete platform for capturing, deriving, and acting on organizational context. Built for scale, designed for insight.
Unified Event Ledger
Single source of truth for all organizational events. Immutable, append-only records with complete audit trails and bitemporal timestamps.
AI-Powered Assertions
Derive situational truths from events with confidence scores, lifecycle management, and automatic decay policies.
Entity Resolution
Cross-system identity management that unifies the same person, project, or concept across all your tools.
Semantic Search
Vector embeddings enable semantic similarity search across your entire context corpus. Find what you mean, not just what you type.
Bitemporal Tracking
Know both when events happened and when you learned about them. Critical for compliance, auditing, and understanding causality.
Real-time Processing
Event streaming for instant updates. Hot, warm, and cold classification ensures intelligent data management at scale.
Complete Lineage
Every assertion traces back to source events with full provenance. Debug, audit, and verify with confidence.
Enterprise Security
Multi-tenant isolation, RBAC, API key management, and complete audit logging out of the box.
Everything you need for
organizational intelligence
Transform siloed data into unified, actionable intelligence. Real-time event tracking, AI-powered insights, and complete audit trails for modern organizations.
Nerves
Nerves are your data pipelines. They continuously pull information from GitHub, HackerNews, Reddit, finance feeds, weather APIs, and more. Each nerve runs independently, transforming raw data into structured events.

Events
Every piece of data becomes an event with bitemporal timestamps: when it happened and when you learned about it. Events are classified as hot, warm, or cold based on recency and relevance. Nothing is ever lost or overwritten.
Entities
The same person, project, or concept exists in dozens of tools under different names. Entities resolve these identities, linking @john.doe on Slack to John Doe in Jira to jdoe on GitHub. One unified view.
"Project Phoenix is at risk of missing Q4 deadline"
"Sarah Chen is the primary expert on payment systems"
"Customer Acme Corp shows early churn signals"
"Auth service has recurring memory leak issues"
"Q3 revenue target will likely be exceeded"
"Mobile app performance degraded after v2.4 release"
"Engineering team morale is declining"
"Competitor X launching similar feature next month"

Assertions
Assertions are derived truths extracted from events. Each assertion carries a confidence score, tracks its supporting evidence, and decays over time if not reinforced. Contradictions are automatically detected.
Embeddings
Every event and assertion is embedded into vector space. Search by meaning, not just keywords. Find related concepts, similar issues, and patterns that text search would miss entirely.

Based on 47 events and 12 assertions, I've identified 3 primary risks: 1. Project Phoenix timeline at 87% confidence will miss deadline based on velocity trends 2. Auth service stability: Recurring memory leaks affecting 3 dependent services 3. Key person dependency: Sarah Chen is sole expert on payment systems
While Sarah Chen is the primary expert (156 events), I found 2 others with relevant context: • John Martinez: 34 events, mostly code reviews on payment PRs • Payment Gateway service: 1,567 events, well-documented API

Ask
Ask questions in plain English. The AI queries across events, entities, and assertions to synthesize answers. See the reasoning process, the sources used, and export conversations for sharing.
Radar
A live visualization of your event stream. New events appear at the outer edge and drift toward the center as they age. Size indicates priority, with hot events appearing larger. Filter by source, priority, or time window.
Brands
Define the brands, products, competitors, or topics you care about. Brands aggregate signals from across all your nerves, scoring and alerting on relevance. Build custom views for different stakeholders.
Diver
Sometimes you need to go deep. Diver provides specialized interfaces for exploring Reddit sentiment, GitHub repository insights, and HackerNews technology trends. Purpose-built tools for focused analysis.

Loved by teams
everywhere
See what teams are saying about how Context Spine transformed their organizational awareness.
"Context Spine transformed how we understand our engineering velocity. We went from guessing to knowing, and our deployment confidence increased 3x."
"The bitemporal tracking is a game-changer for compliance. Our auditors were impressed that we could show exactly when we learned about any event."
"We discovered customer churn signals weeks earlier than before. Context Spine saved us 4 enterprise accounts in a single quarter."
"Finally, a single source of truth that actually works. No more context switching between 15 different tools to understand what's happening."
"The semantic search is incredibly powerful. I can ask natural language questions and get actionable insights in seconds."
"Setup took less than a day. Within a week, we had visibility into cross-team dependencies we didn't even know existed."
Frequently asked
questions

General
Context Spine is an event-driven platform that provides a canonical, structured layer of context for situational awareness across your tools and time. It unifies data from all your business tools into a single source of truth, enabling you to understand what's happening across your organization in real-time.
While data warehouses focus on historical analytics and batch processing, Context Spine is designed for real-time operational context. It captures events with bitemporal timestamps, derives assertions with confidence scores, and provides semantic search capabilities - all optimized for understanding what's happening now, not just analyzing the past.
No! Context Spine is designed for all teams. Non-technical users can use our visual dashboard, natural language queries, and pre-built integrations. Technical users can leverage our API, custom nerve framework, and advanced querying capabilities.
Data & Security
Context Spine employs enterprise-grade security including encryption at rest and in transit, SOC 2 Type II compliance, RBAC with fine-grained permissions, comprehensive audit logging, and workspace isolation for multi-tenant deployments. We never access your data without explicit permission.
You own your data. Upon cancellation, you have 30 days to export all your events and assertions. After that, we securely delete all your data from our systems. We also provide a self-hosted option for organizations with strict data residency requirements.
Yes! Our Enterprise plan includes a self-hosted deployment option. You can run Context Spine entirely within your own infrastructure, giving you complete control over your data and compliance requirements.
Integrations
Context Spine integrates with 21+ tools including GitHub, Slack, Jira, HubSpot, Microsoft Teams, Asana, and many public data sources like HackerNews, ArXiv, and financial markets. We also support custom webhooks and a browser scraper for any web content.
Absolutely. Our Nerve framework makes it easy to build custom integrations in Python. You can also use our webhook endpoints to receive data from any HTTP source. All integrations follow the same event model for consistent data handling.
Sync frequency depends on the integration. Real-time integrations (webhooks, Slack) provide instant updates. Polling integrations (GitHub, Jira) sync every 1-15 minutes. You can also trigger manual syncs at any time.
Pricing & Support
Context Spine offers flexible enterprise pricing based on your organization's needs. We work with you to understand your requirements and tailor a plan that fits. Contact our sales team for a custom quote.
All customers receive dedicated enterprise support including a dedicated success manager, SLAs tailored to your needs, priority email and phone support, and optional on-call support for critical issues.
Absolutely! We offer personalized demos where our team walks you through Context Spine's capabilities with your specific use cases. We also provide a sandbox environment where you can explore the platform hands-on.
