About

• The repo-shaped company

  Git solved this for code. A company's state deserves the same treatment — and without it, nothing can work on your company but you.

• Anatomy of an AI native company

  Six files. What the company is, what it is chasing, what it is doing about it, and who is allowed to say.

• Sprint, the operational epoch

  A company has no natural clock. Quarters are an accounting artifact and weeks are a calendar one. The sprint is the unit a company actually learns in.

• Why nine days

  Long enough that something has to actually move. Short enough that you cannot put it off.

• Agents and charters

  One human. One AI unit. Many charters. Many entities. Autonomy begins when an agent has an institution to act through.

• Primitives of Zo Corp

  We know AI can run commands. What if commands could run AI?

• Surfaces — the New Departments

  Departments organized the company within. Surfaces define how it sees, acts, and is seen by the world.

• Zo — the CE2O

  Do not give agents jobs. Let Zo assemble them around the work.
