Field guide

Intelligence, designed in.

How a firm redesigns itself around intelligence without betting the company. The destination, the path, and where to start. Fourteen slides, written for operators, not for a board offsite.

01

The accountability gap

AI can execute far more than anyone can be held responsible for. Winning firms decide in advance which decisions a named human stands behind, and route the rest to agents under audit.

02

Bolt-on or built-in

Most firms add a tool at the edge and call it transformation. Built-in means intelligence at the structural intersections where the work actually routes.

03

The Signal Loop and the Watchtower

Purpose, sense, interpret, decide, act, learn, at machine speed. One always-on layer watches every step: drift checks, a decision trail, undo at any grain, a named-human queue.

04

The 90-Day Mirror

Could three people and a set of agents rebuild your highest-margin business in 90 days? The function that clears that bar is your first Twin candidate.

05

The Twin Path

No big-bang reorg. An AI-native team stands up beside the legacy core, proven workflows migrate one at a time, and the edge becomes the firm.

06

The Growth Sequence

Aim, Audit, Isolate, Cut, Twin, Recenter. Six steps in order, governed from day one, with the J-curve pre-funded and the middle of the org bridged, not abandoned.

Leave your name and email and the PDF unlocks. No newsletter, no sequence. One follow-up from Garrett if you want it.

Framework adapted from Salim Ismail, The Organizational Singularity: ExO 3.0. Growth Advisory naming and application are our own; the last slide maps every term back to the original.

Start with one workflow.

A 30-minute diagnostic. No pitch. We map your highest-value workflow together and tell you honestly whether it clears the Mirror.
