Operating Model

The factory runs on short feedback loops. Human attention is reserved for product direction, ambiguity, risk approval, and final acceptance — everything else is delegated to agents.

1
Human states intent and constraints

The founder sets product direction, priorities, and approval boundaries. Human attention is reserved for product direction, ambiguity, risk approval, and final acceptance.

2
Agents research current state and risks

Research agents inspect code, docs, market context, and risks before any changes.

3
Agents produce a plan with validation and approval gates

Planning agents turn intent into scoped implementation plans with objectives, non-scope, constraints, test strategy, rollback, and human approval gates.

4
Agents implement scoped changes

Implementation agents make the smallest correct change, run tests, and verify the result.

5
Agents verify, review, document, and report results

Review agents check correctness, regressions, security, tests, and docs. Each change includes a summary, rationale, files changed, verification, risks, and limitations.

6
Reusable lessons become factory improvements

Factory-improvement agents convert repeated friction into reusable systems, templates, prompts, tests, workflows, and docs.

Executive Organization

Agents are organized like an accountable company, not a pile of tools. Every role owns one decision; every agent reports to exactly one executive owner.

Chief Product Officer

Build the right products

Market research, customer feedback, product strategy, roadmap, PRDs, UX research, success metrics.

Chief Technology Officer

Build products correctly

Architecture, code quality, platform architecture, AI engineering, technical standards, security, performance.

Chief Operating Officer

Optimize the factory itself

CI/CD, deployment, quality gates, documentation, knowledge management, AI orchestration, workflow optimization.

Chief Revenue Officer

Maximize long-term customer value

Customer acquisition, pricing, subscription optimization, App Store optimization, retention, portfolio growth.

Chief Financial Officer

Allocate capital wisely

Cash flow, profitability, AI compute costs, API spend, ROI analysis, portfolio allocation.

Chief Knowledge Officer

Preserve and evolve institutional knowledge

Standards, prompt libraries, reusable templates, lessons learned, decision records, knowledge hygiene.

Agent Roster

Specialist agents handle research, planning, implementation, review, and factory improvement. A coordinating agent remains accountable for final integration and reporting.

Planner

Turns intent into scoped implementation plans with validation and approval gates.

Builder

Makes small, verified changes following the approved plan.

Reviewer

Checks correctness, regressions, security, test gaps, and maintainability.

Vision

Reviews screenshots, UI layouts, and rendered output for visual compliance.

Audio

Reviews generated SFX, ambience, and voice lines for quality and suitability.

Eval

Runs or analyzes local evals and validation results deterministically.

Editor

Reviews editorial and portfolio web-presence content for quality.

Local tier

Cheap-tier agents for triage, summaries, retrospectives, and small docs edits.

Human Approval Gates

The factory is autonomous only inside approved boundaries. These categories always require explicit human approval before proceeding.

Trust Boundaries

What agents can do on their own vs. what requires human sign-off.

Autonomous

Read, search, validate, plan, implement within approved scope, run tests, generate docs, review code, create PRs (after review PASS), merge PRs (after review PASS).

Requires approval

Destructive operations, production deployment, release submission, billing, secrets, dependency changes, external services, legal/compliance, architectural rewrites, product direction changes.

Data Flow

From intent to shipped product to measured improvement — a closed loop.

Intent
Human states intent and constraints.
Plan
Planner produces scoped plan with approval gates.
Build
Builder implements scoped changes.
Verify
Tests, lint, type checks, build, smoke checks run.
Review
Reviewer checks correctness, regressions, security.
Ship
PR merged after review PASS; telemetry emitted to scorecard.
Measure
Scorecard computes autonomy ratio, cost, maturity inputs.
Improve
Retrospectives and 5-whys feed reusable improvements back.
