Roles and one shared record.
When AI sits in how a team decides and remembers, how the work is structured can change. Chat added on top does not do that job.

Open questions, 1 Nov 2026
- Open question
What should this program reuse?
Which research we already hold should the foundation program use, instead of starting over?
- Open question
How do others teach this?
Which public examples teach named things, connections and operating rules in a visual way?
- Open question
What does published evidence support?
What published evidence supports or weakens a redesign of how work flows, versus AI added on top?
- Open question
How might an AI-rooted organisation operate?
What does outside research say about structure, how information moves, and who may decide?
- Open question
What do we already hold?
Which notes do we already have, and which gaps still need new research?
- Open question
One curriculum, two readers?
How can one curriculum serve people and agents without splitting the meaning?
- Open question
Work that never finishes
How does standing work stay visible when it does not close?
- Open question
Which pains do founders name?
Which pains do founders of teams this size describe, in their own words?
- Open question
How should the lessons be found?
How should the lessons be structured so people and agents find the same meaning?
- Open question
Which sources are safe to cite?
Which sources can we cite, and which claims do they support?
Draft notes stay off this page until a public teaching version is accepted.
02
Roots and add-on
Not only adding tools.
Outside evidence often points toward redesigning how work flows, not only adding tools. It does not prove our approach. Add-on AI helps too. Our “roots” stance is a position we are building with, not a study result.
Research note
Add-on AI helps too.
It can help the task in front of you. That help is not a finding that our approach is proved.
03
Founder pains · teams of about 10 to 100
Faster tasks don’t help if decisions don’t stick.
Research noteFive pains from our research notes. Not quotations. Not a measured study of companies this size.
- Research note
Decisions don’t stick.
- Research note
Work is forgotten from one tool to the next.
- Research note
People wait on the person who decides.
- Research note
How the team works stays hard to point at.
- Research note
Faster tasks leave the way of working unchanged.
Measures we want to watch

Not a live number.
How many of these questions have a public answer, and how many stay open.
Not a live number.
How many notes are still drafts, and how many have been accepted.
Not a live number.
Weekday research completed, set beside the target for that work.
Not a live number.
Whether a public snapshot of the work window was taken.
