Software is becoming a marketplace of capabilities.

Not files. Not pages. Not products in the shape of last decade's software. Capabilities: models that reason, tools that act, memory that persists, identity that travels, permissions that are explicit.

APIs are becoming commodities.

Discovery, comparison, evaluation, permissions, and composition become the scarce parts. A marketplace for capabilities is therefore also a map of what software can do—and what it still cannot.

Tools are becoming composable.

The next useful product may be a protocol, a memory boundary, a trust layer, or a tiny semantic permission. Products stop being destinations and start behaving like grammar.

Agents are becoming customers.

When software buys from software, interfaces must explain capability, price, permission, provenance, and consequence. That changes what a product page is.

Speculation becomes a design medium.

A concept can be examined before it becomes a company. The Future Market makes that boundary explicit: real software here, technically coherent possibilities there, never pretending one is the other.

The market for what exists is useful. The market for what should exist is generative.
