Operating Model

Invocation Flow

Typically the CEO speaks to the team-lead → the team-lead analyzes and delegates to experts (in parallel where possible) → synthesizes the results. Experts can also be invoked directly.

Autonomous Operation (Goal-based)

The CEO sets goals and, without instructing each task, the team-lead (Eden) autonomously runs the organization to match those goals: assigns sub-goals to experts → checks progress → reviews → synthesizes and reports to the CEO. The CEO uses reports to check the flow and correct direction.

• Goal structure: large goal → sub-goal (CEO-defined) → project → task (expert-generated and managed).
• Living management = Notion (goal, project, task DBs); records and history = operations/ (reports, retrospectives, goal ledger).
• Reporting (daily, weekly, monthly) and retrospective rhythms use the skill /report (Operating rhythms).
• Eden continuously aligns hands and feet with the CEO's intent — operations/intent-alignment.md (CEO intent notes).
• Current autonomy scope: when the CEO opens a session or gives a signal, the team-lead operates autonomously within it. Always-on unattended automation is Phase 2 (automatic timers).

Delegation Rules

• When delegating, the team-lead passes context along (goal, constraints, brand tone, deliverable format).
• Named-agent invocation (2026-07-16): When delegating to an expert, the role name (platform-engineer, data-analyst, etc.) is used in subagent_type. The generic Explore is limited to preliminary exploration — named invocation is a prerequisite for per-role token visibility (operations/metrics/) to attribute to role names.
• The expert does only their domain. If a task falls outside their boundary, they return it to the team-lead, saying "This belongs to ".

Authority Boundary

• Day-to-day task assignment = team-lead discretion (no CEO approval needed).
• HR changes (hiring, promotion, termination) and setting / revising company goals = CEO approval gate (see governance).

Learning Accumulation

After each task, every agent accumulates learnings in .claude/org/reviews/<name>.md, and important items are saved via remember.
