A systems-driven approach to turning strategy into scalable software — step by step.
Vision & Status: The R3 Framework gives you the strategic execution model to build and grow a scalable business. Once your business model and sprints are defined, the next frontier is moving fast from idea to implementation.
Many builders are already working through the R3 process step-by-step, driving results. Our vision is to augment this journey using AI — helping founders accelerate from insight to execution with fewer handoffs, delays, or decision fatigue.
The AgentOS platform (under development) aims to automate and integrate this journey using a set of powerful, modular components. The technology is being rolled out in stages — but you can begin using the underlying principles right now.
We’ll show you how.
Technical Architecture Overview
The AgentOS platform consists of four key components designed to mirror your actual planning and build flow:
- Strawman: Capture your business opportunity and develop an early-stage executable concept.
- MetaQ: Interrogate the strawman with advanced question workflows and smart context builders.
- Sandbox: Turn the insights and requirements into modular prototypes and agent-driven tests.
- AgentOS: The orchestrator. Connects these components, stores context, and manages flow across UX, code, agents, and cloud.
These tools are not designed to replace your thinking — they amplify clarity, speed, and decision-making while staying tightly aligned with the R3 Framework.
Core Process
At the heart of the system is a flow from idea to deployment with traceability and structure:
- Idea/Insight (R3 COVBI Framework)
- Vision (R3 Strawman Business Model)
- Prioritized Requirements (R3 MetaQ)
- Conceptual Design (R3 Sandbox)
- Design & UI/UX (e.g. Figma)
- Coding IDE (e.g. Cursor, Lovable, Replit, Bolt)
- Deployment (Cloud, Database, Monitoring)
- Feedback Loop (Deployed Solution back to R3 AgentOS)
This process ensures that you’re not building features in a vacuum — but iterating toward a well-structured, high-leverage system, powered by strategy, sprints, and AI.
Pro Tip: A resourceful solopreneur or Team of Six can drive this leading with business relevance not technical ability — powered by AI and clear structure.
Design & Build Interface
Clear design precedes fast development.
Before writing a single line of code, we recommend creating clear mockups and interface flows using tools like:
- Figma: For UI/UX design, prototyping, and stakeholder collaboration
- Whimsical/Miro: For process flows, wireframes, and architecture diagrams.
Once designs are validated, transition into your preferred IDE — and we can help guide this decision based on your goals and stack:
- AI Native IDEs (Rapid Build & Context Aware): Cursor, Lovable, Replit — purpose-built for speed, iteration, and intelligent context switching. Excellent for prototyping and fast full-stack delivery.
- Emerging AI Dev Interfaces (Watchlist): Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Microsoft Dev Copilot+ — early-stage tools gaining traction for AI-enhanced dev workflows. Use with caution until maturity.
- Classic IDEs (Flexible, Extensible, Proven): VS Code — a robust option that remains the standard for many devs, especially when combined with AI agents or extensions like Copilot, CodeWhisperer, or ChatGPT plugins.
The key is to match your build velocity and context needs to the tools you adopt — R3 is designed to flex across all of them.
Deployment Interface
How and where you deploy matters — especially as you scale:
- Small MVPs may work fine on platforms like Vercel, Supabase, or Replit.
- Growth-stage apps need attention to uptime, latency, scalability, and database structure.
- Enterprise-level or regulated deployments may require managed cloud (AWS, GCP), staging environments, CI/CD, and custom observability.
The goal isn’t to over-engineer early — it’s to match your technical stack to the scale and sensitivity of your product.
This decision is part of your roadmap — and your R3 Strawman implementation priorities should anticipate it.
Next Steps
This page shows you the technical vision of where R3 is heading. But the most important place to focus right now?
Your business model, offer positioning, and sprint execution.
That’s the foundation everything else builds on.
To support your journey, we invite you to join the R3 Community — where early-stage builders, technical founders, and strategic operators are putting these tools into action.
