Context Lake vs legacy system classes
Existing infrastructure was designed for human analysis cycles. See how the Tacnode Context Lake differs when AI agents are the primary consumer.
The Core Difference
These comparisons aren't about performance benchmarks. They're about a fundamental architectural question: can composed systems achieve Decision Coherence? The Composition Impossibility Theorem says no.
