What are Interfaces? 

In an ExO context, “Interfaces” refers to the automation of one or more SCALE attributes. Interfaces are the matching and filtering processes—using Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms, as well as automated workflows—that allow an organization to translate an abundance of data into precise and meaningful information that can be acted upon. Interfaces are the bridge between the external, SCALE drivers of exponential growth (the internal, IDEAS drivers for stabilization. An early example of interfaces are APIs, or application programming interfaces.
