Topic: Make Context Explicit
What your team and agents need to make good product decisions, fast 🧭
A salesperson asks whether the product can handle a customer's edge case. An engineer scopes a ticket and has to guess what "done" really means. An agent drafts a spec and confidently gets the strategy wrong. Each of these is a product decision, and each one is only as good as the context available at the moment it was made.
Most of that context lives in someone's head, in a deck from last quarter, or in a thread nobody can find. People can usually work around the gaps by asking the right colleague. Agents can't. They work with whatever you give them, and when that is thin or out of date, the decisions they make will be too, only faster.
Make Context Explicit is one of the principles of the Makers Manifesto, created by a global group of 45 cross-disciplinary experts and operators and organised by Faith Forster. In this Chat, Faith shares a product context maturity model and helps you map your own organisation against it, live.
"Your agents are only as good as your context" Faith Forster
What we’ll cover
✅ What product context actually is, and the everyday decisions that depend on it, from answering a sales question to scoping a ticket.
✅ A maturity model that moves through evidence (customers, competitors and what you've shipped), then performance and economics, through to strategic intent (strategy, goals and the decisions behind them).
✅ How to tell whether each layer sits in people's heads, is scattered across documents, or is structured, current and ready for agents to use.
✅ A live mapping exercise for your own organisation, and how you compare with others in the room.
✅ Which context gaps are costing you most, and where to start closing them.
Perfect for: Product Managers, Senior Product Managers, Product Leaders, and anyone bringing AI agents into their product team who suspects the problem isn't the prompt.
Come ready to take part, because you'll be mapping your own organisation during the session.
