Brittleness today
Cross-system workflows often fail because too many assumptions are hidden and too few corrections are guided.
A workflow touching several systems can break for small reasons that are disproportionately hard to diagnose: a field shifts, a validation rule tightens, a role assumption changes, or a route behaves differently than the old docs suggested. When each interface is opaque, the whole chain becomes fragile.
AIXE attacks that fragility at the contract surface.
Hidden assumptions
Opaque systems push too much interpretive burden onto the orchestration logic and the humans maintaining it.
Failure amplification
A small change in one interface can ripple into a large operational disruption when the contract is weak.
