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.
