For Founders & Operating Executives

The Ratifier Role

The human's job in an agent org is to approve, not to operate. The principle that everything which can be a rule should be one. Why the work that's left is harder than the work that left.

The lunchtime status meeting is gone. The 3 PM check-in is gone. The Slack threads where you weighed in to remind everyone you were paying attention are gone, because the agents don't need reminding and the system already has your attention budgeted.
