Fit the structure to the work.
A research question, a recurring operation and a consequential decision should not be organized in the same way. Design the system around its context.
Overview
- Autonomy
- An assistant develops a response. A gated copilot prepares an action for review. Supervised automation operates within agreed boundaries. Choose the level for the actual risk of the work.
- Team size
- A small group can handle a focused task. Broader work may need several teams, each with a lead and a distinct responsibility. Add roles for a reason.
- Cadence
- Run on demand, respond to an event or revisit the work on a schedule. The trigger should match when the result becomes useful.
- Decision points
- Place review before publication, spending, legal commitments or decisions about people. Routine updates can follow a different review policy.
- Memory
- Use case files for an ongoing matter, a knowledge base for reusable understanding, a timeline for events or an entity graph for relationships.
- Delivery
- Start with an available OS when its scope fits. Design a custom system when your methods, constraints or integrations need a different structure.
