§01Thesis

The food economy doesn’t have a data problem. It has a memory problem.

Food is the largest, most perishable system we have, and much of it still runs on phone calls, paper and instinct. It makes countless decisions every day, and forgets most of them by morning.

ZAKI is building the layer that remembers: one intelligence running underneath every link in the chain, so that every transaction makes the next one smarter.

§02System

One intelligence layer. Every link in the chain.

Seven disciplines, one shared memory underneath. What one part of the system learns, the rest of it knows.
