Incept: Content generation platform producing all personalized educational content for multiple learning applications deployed at Alpha School.

We follow a spec-driven approach: you architect before you code, always design before you execute. High autonomy, no committees, no approval boards. Small, cohesive team where you're accountable for what you deliver.
