How to write our names

Company
Bud Ecosystem in running text; Bud Ecosystem, Inc. as the legal entity. Not "BUD" or "Bud Eco".
Flagship product

Components
Bud LayerZero, Bud Pod, Bud Model Foundry, Bud AI Foundry, Bud MCP Foundry, Bud SENTRY, Bud Studio and Bud Agent are components of the Bud Novaria AI OS, not products.
Our term
the AI fragmentation tax: the compounding latency, accuracy and cost penalty of every tool boundary in a fragmented AI stack. Attribute it to Bud on first use.
