# The Client Flow Glossary

> The named terms of the post-AI client delivery model - methodology, mechanisms, and operational claims observed in real businesses before they became language.

## Direct answer

The named vocabulary of the Client Flow methodology. Each term started as a pattern showing up across enough businesses that it needed a name - named in a letter first, defined once the pattern was reliable enough to trust. Eight terms have their own entry. Eight more live inside the flagship pages where they were first laid out in full.
