+Building interoperable, adaptable, and extensible information-processing systems.
+
+## Current Service
+
+This repository now implements one concrete infospace under `infospace/`.
+The repository root remains the service, governance, and workplan shell.
+
+The first service surface is intentionally small:
+
+- JSON-first CLI commands
+- importable Python service functions
+- read-only local HTTP API
+- artifact loading, checks, and graph summaries backed by `infospace-bench`
+
+## Source-Tree Usage
+
+```bash
+PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m info_tech_canon inspect
+PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m info_tech_canon artifacts
+PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m info_tech_canon models
+PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m info_tech_canon standards
+PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m info_tech_canon validate
+PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m info_tech_canon graph
+PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m info_tech_canon api --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765
+```
+
+After package installation, the same commands are available through the
+`info-tech-canon` console script.
