WTF is the Context Layer?
Every vendor claims to be the context layer now. We cut through the noise and work toward a definition that actually holds up — with the people who coined the term.
Questions we'll tackle:

- What does a context layer actually look like inside a real enterprise?
- Who owns it — the data team, the AI team, or the platform team?
