Welcome To The Intermediate Catch Event

This newsletter is about agentic orchestration, enterprise process orchestration, and what it takes to get AI into real production work. I write about the work around the model, not only the model itself.

Hi, I’m Stefan. I work as a software engineer and software architect, and I spend a lot of time thinking about how work actually moves through systems. I write about agents, orchestration, governance, and the enterprise reality around AI. BPMN and process automation are part of that, but not the whole story.

The name comes from BPMN. An intermediate catch event waits for something relevant before the process can move on. I still like that idea, because useful systems often need exactly that kind of pause before the next step can happen.

If you care about how AI and orchestration work in real enterprise systems, and not only in polished demos, you are in the right place.

What To Expect

I write this in my free time, but I aim to publish at least once a week.

Most posts are practical. Some are about BPMN, Camunda, and process automation. A lot of them are about agentic orchestration, enterprise AI in production, and the tradeoffs that show up when teams want more than a proof of concept.

I care a lot about the gap between building and shipping. Many teams can get an AI demo running. Fewer can turn it into something useful in day to day work. That gap is where most of my writing sits now.

New To This Topic?

You do not need to come from a BPM background to read this newsletter. If you work on AI products, platform engineering, architecture, internal tools, or enterprise software delivery, there should be plenty here for you.

If you want a simpler and less technical entry point into process thinking, take a look at my other newsletter, The None Start Event.

Think of this Substack like an intermediate catch event in BPMN — a pause in the flow, waiting for something relevant. Each post aims to be that trigger: a concept, or a practical impulse that moves your understanding of process automation a step forward.
