What actually happened.

Dated notes from a startup in the making — decisions, published artefacts, and the occasional rename. When something real happens, it lands here; nothing on this page claims traction we do not have.

1. 13 August 2026Concept

   The Capability Schema is published — ahead of the product, on purpose.

   Version 0.1 of the Capability Schema is now public — and it is a schema you can write in, not a vocabulary we describe: a validatable JSON Schema with seven capability classes, five required fields per declaration (its class, the kind of resource, reach, lead time and the consent chain), a six-state status vocabulary mirroring the onboarding gates — every published example honestly stops at the first — namespaced domain extensions, and one deliberate exclusion: cost, which belongs to a booking, not a capability. It lives at tilfang.com/schema, as a full reference and as JSON, with this site’s entire resource catalogue embedded as conformant examples.

   Publishing the vocabulary before the platform is the cheapest honest test this concept can run: if an operator can describe a real asset in it, the abstraction holds; if they argue with it, the argument is the finding. Both outcomes beat a private draft. If you run sensors, drones, labs or analysts — read it and tell us where it breaks.

2. 11 August 2026Announcement

   saneX is now Tilfang.

   The Capability Operating System concept has a new name. Tilfang is Icelandic and means resource — the one thing this concept exists to describe, govern and orchestrate: sensors, platforms, services and operators, stated precisely enough to be found, compared and booked. A name that names the subject matter beats a name that names the ambition.

   Nothing about the concept changes: same architecture, same claims discipline, same simulation-first pilot ask. The working name saneX is retired, and the site now lives at tilfang.com.

   In proper startup terms: Tilfang has acquired saneX in full — one concept, one website and a naming document changed hands. The terms of the transaction are undisclosed, chiefly because there were none. It is the same project, renamed, and we are very pleased with the synergies.
