Run your people, fractionals and AI agents as one workforce

People is the factory that hires, onboards and develops everyone who does the work in your business, and measures the result as revenue per employee.

Everyone has an AI tool now. Nobody knows who owns the work

Adding AI to a team without roles adds work that falls between people.

  1. Tools without owners

    Agents and automations run, but nobody is answerable for what they do.

  2. Roles nobody wrote down

    Who does what is in people's heads, so work falls between them.

  3. No way to hand over more

    There is no measure of when an AI employee can be trusted with the next task.

Autonomy is the top layer, not the first

An AI employee can only take over People work that already runs on a system and a decision. Each layer stands on the one below it.

Systems
The tools, data and processes it runs on
Strategy
The decisions of the factory
Execution
The lines where the work happens
Autonomy
AI and automation that take the work over

The people engine

From a need to work handed over: a role is written, a person or an AI employee fills it, and trust is earned before more work moves.

  1. A need in a factory (Trigger, Your team)
  2. The role written down (Step, Your team)
  3. Hire, or train an AI employee (Condition, Your systems)
  4. Does the work (Step, AI employee)
  5. Trust measured (Store, Your systems)
  6. More work handed over (Loop, AI employee)

What must be true before AI employees join the team

Autonomy in People is earned on these: every role written, every line owned and trust measured.

Every role written down
People and AI employees alike, each with what they own and decide.
Owners for every line
A name on each line of each factory.
How trust is earned
Junior, medior and senior: what an AI employee must show before it does more.

One workforce, whoever does the work

Some work is done by employees, some by fractionals (part-time specialists), some by freelancers and some by AI agents. We count all of them as one workforce, because the questions are the same: who does this work, and how well.

Upkeep takes time from growth

The maintenance work of the workforce is cleared in three moves: we delete it, automate it or delegate it. The platform shows how much time each person and team spends in each bucket.

A system that gets lighter

We run the people side in four layers: Systems, Strategy, Execution and Autonomy. Each layer stands on the one below it. Execution runs the three lines, Hiring, Onboarding and Development, and Autonomy holds the People AI employee.

The main number: revenue per employee

Revenue per employee is the revenue of the year divided by the workforce, with people and AI agents counted as one workforce. Drivers feed it, and a target sits on it.
