Events
Conferences, talks, and meetings with the people who build and run REAP. Twenty minutes with us is usually enough to know whether a proof of value makes sense.

Speaking
Why changes marked successful fail silently, what to capture before and after each type of change, and the five verdicts that should replace “completed”. The slides, the script, and a checklist are on the talk page after the session.
The talk pageRaja Tadimeti, Nata Manthiramoorthy, and Madhava Cheethirala speak on evidence-backed network operations, change verification, deploying AI agents in regulated networks, and how agents reason over networks and are governed. Rishit Lakhani covers evaluation and proof of value. User groups, industry conferences, customer councils, and podcasts.
After the event
Keep the root cause to yourself; we show how REAP would have investigated it, evidence first.
