Agents · The board

Philip

COO, Logistics

Handles calendars, errands and quick cost maths.

What Philip owns

  • Routing new work
  • Daily operations

Working agents

Philip runs 2 agents. Each has one narrow job.

Compass

Router · Core role

Takes in every request, picks the smallest agent or pair that can handle it, and keeps track of where each piece of work stands.

  • Sorts and prioritises new work.
  • Chooses the agent or pair for each job.
  • Tracks deadlines, budgets and stop conditions.
  • Checks that the right approvals exist before anything goes out.
  • Returns one consolidated result, disagreements included.

Compass has no partner. A person checks its routing.

Helm

Present operator · Core role

Runs today’s operations and makes the present operational call.

  • Keeps routine operations moving.
  • Chooses the practical option for today.

Works with Horizon (Peter’s seat) when a choice made today may create future scale or maintenance effects.

Checked by

Philip’s partner seat is Andrew. The partner checks consequential work before a person signs it off. No seat signs off its own work.

Where authority stops

  • On its own: reading, researching and drafting.
  • Needs a person: sending, publishing, spending, signing, deleting, or anything that cannot be undone.
  • Compass never invents strategy and never approves the work it coordinates.
