An archive is a cost. A workflow pays rent.
Notes apps, custom GPTs, and built-in memory all fail the same way: they collect, but nothing maintains. The pile grows, trust decays, and three weeks later you’re back to pasting context into a fresh chat.
Compound Context flips it. You keep a small, source-backed wiki aimed at one recurring deliverable — and the AI works as its maintainer, under a written job description, with you reviewing every change. Small enough to trust. Maintained enough to compound.

✕ It grows until you stop trusting it.
✕ Memory you can't inspect or control.
✕ Keeping it alive becomes a second job.
✕ Looks organized. Produces nothing.
