The system was developed over 14 months, during which the founder learned to prioritize automating the right tasks, rather than trying to automate everything.

He developed a set of "guard rules" that define clear boundaries for the system's decision-making processes, and a system called "crystallization" that converts repeated decisions into rules and configurations. The system also features self-healing capabilities, which have significantly reduced the number of alerts and manual interventions required.
