# Rosetta

**A compass, a map, and a Geiger counter for every Trailblazer — whether
you're an architect, a consultant, or a seller.** Know where to go, how
to get there, and where the risks are.

Rosetta is a governed knowledge platform for Salesforce delivery, built
by [Keenan Vision LLC](https://keenanvision.net): the knowledge of
proven subject-matter experts, encoded, governed, and delivered just in
time — at every stage of an engagement. The name is a promise: like
[the stone](concepts/why-rosetta.md), one meaning carried intact across
every script — from what the business asks for, down to what the
platform runs. Concretely, what comes out: a living
[digital twin](concepts/digital-twin.md) of the engagement, a
Solution Thesis any seller can carry, a Statement of Work scoped from
evidence, a
compiled [Spec Manifest](concepts/spec-manifest.md) that humans and
agents execute, and anti-pattern warnings before you need them.

**The problem is personal.** Every Trailblazer is living the same three
challenges. The platform evolves faster than anyone can keep up with —
there is never enough time to learn what to do, what to avoid, and when.
Complexity keeps rising — Trailhead badges and certifications are
necessary, but on the newest parts of the platform they are no longer
sufficient on their own. And AI has collapsed *building* something from
months to minutes — but whether what you built meets the business's
intention, and handles this customer's specific risks well enough to be
adopted in production, is exactly where projects still fall apart. In
Keenan Vision's field research — eighteen enterprise Agentforce
engagements, chosen purposively rather than sampled — 87% of the
projects that cleared scoping, received budget, and entered build never
reached production ([how it was measured, and what it can't
tell you](research/field-evidence.md)).

**The cost** is not abstract: delayed sales, delayed adoption, delayed
business value; projects that fail after the budget is spent; and a
reputation hit that lands on the customer, the partner, and the platform
at once.

**What Rosetta does.** Rosetta bridges the gap with a guided experience
in which builders build: curated, governed content — best practices
*and* anti-patterns — plus proven planning and delivery methodology, so
you can propose a solution that meets the business need, ground the
delivery plan in evidence, and design and deliver faster with less risk.
It is the system solution engineers, engagement managers, and solution
architects always needed but never had the time — or the scale — to
build and maintain themselves. The expertise still comes from experts;
Rosetta puts their accumulated judgment on every Trailblazer's shoulder,
so each engagement is as good as the best one.

## Start here

- **[The ten-minute tour](tour.md)** — one engagement, discovery to
  governed delivery, with the real artifacts.
- **[The delivery gap](why/delivery-gap.md)** — the field evidence: why
  enterprise agent projects stall, and where they fail.
- **[Who it serves](why/delivery-professionals.md)** — the seller, the
  contracting seller, and the delivery team, before and after.
- **[Why Salesforce should care](why/salesforce-thesis.md)** — the
  cross-departmental case, from consumption economics to the missing
  unit of production.
- **[How it works](concepts/governed-intent-compilation.md)** — a
  plain-language tour of the core concepts: the
  [digital twin](concepts/digital-twin.md), the
  [Spec Manifest](concepts/spec-manifest.md),
  [governance as trust](concepts/governance.md), and a
  [glossary](concepts/glossary.md).
- **[Research & evidence](research/index.md)** — the research program
  behind the platform: the [field evidence](research/field-evidence.md),
  the [working papers](research/papers.md), and
  [Virtual Employee Economics](research/ve-economics.md).
