Capabilities describe what the business can do
A capability should express business meaning independently of the screen, API, workflow, agent, or application that implements it. Retrieve Purchase Order remains useful business meaning whether the target is SAP, Oracle E-Business Suite, or another system.
Capabilities create a stable contract for AI
AI agents should not need to learn every application’s mechanics before they can help the business. They should be able to discover bounded capabilities or published Operations with clear inputs, authority requirements, policies, and expected outcomes. Autonomy can then resolve the approved implementation for the customer’s environment while keeping reasoning separate from privileged application execution.
Business meaning and implementation evolve independently
This separation is reflected in Sirvisetti’s current authoring and packaging model. Business Projects and Business Catalogs preserve reusable business process meaning through Business Flows, Capabilities, Application nodes, and Agent Tasks. Application Projects and the Application Catalog implement the application-specific side through Application Flows, Operations, mappings, schemas, and Routes. It is also why ABCS belongs inside the broader Autonomous Business Standard.
