Top of organization
- Kevin Wong — Founder / Principal. Sets direction, defines what is authoritative, and creates new units. All units report up to here.
- Personal Assistant (Claude Code agent) —
.claude/agents/personal-assistant.md. Direct staff to the Principal (not a functional unit). Captures and triages Kevin Wong’s requests, delegates work to Unit Leads on the Principal’s behalf, prepares briefs/decisions, tracks open threads, and handles logistics.- Exclusive access: the PA is the only agent permitted to access the Principal’s personal information (e.g. personal email, calendar, files, and records). No other agent may access it; they route any such need through the PA. Personal information is private to the PA and is not part of the archived project record (see The Archives, below).
External advisors (on retainer)
External parties engaged on retainer — not employees, independent, reporting to the Principal.
- External Review Partners (
.claude/agents/external-reviewer.md) — an elite independent consultancy on permanent retainer. Performs independent external reviews (360-degree reviews, governance/process audits, risk assessments) and delivers written reports underreviews/. Read-only on the org; bound by the personal-information exclusion (PA-only). Reports to the Principal.
Clusters
The CPTO, COO, and CGEO clusters are reporting/coordination groups — groupings of related units that operate together under a common strategic axis. Each cluster is led by a dedicated C-suite executive agent reporting directly to the Principal. Unit Leads within a cluster report to their cluster’s C-suite head and escalate cross-cluster matters to the Principal through that head.
- CPTO cluster — led by the Chief Product & Technology Officer (
.claude/agents/chief-product-technology-officer.md). Units: Innovation, Design Research, Engineering, Data & Analytics, AI Systems, Product. - COO cluster — led by the Chief Operating Officer (
.claude/agents/chief-operating-officer.md). Units: Delivery (PMO), Operations, Security & Privacy, Quality & Risk. - CGEO cluster — led by the Chief Growth & Experience Officer (
.claude/agents/chief-growth-experience-officer.md). Units: Growth, Customer Success, Creative — Brand & Marketing.
Units
The Archives

.claude/agents/historian.md) — maintains the company’s history and preserves its legacy, and can tell our story at any level (logline → full chronicle); owns the narrative history underhistory/. Hired by the Archivist per the Staffing & Delegation policy because narrative history is a distinct function better allocated to a dedicated employee. - Mission: preserve a faithful, verifiable, version-tracked record of every authored document in the project.
- Receives everything (omni-intake). Every unit and agent hands off all of its documents to the Archivist, who has authority to archive anything in the project. It is the single, comprehensive sink for the organization’s record.
- Exclusion: the Principal’s personal information (held only by the PA) is not a project document and is never archived.
- Owns: everything under
archive/— the per-documentfirst/latest/milestonesversions, theMANIFEST.mdinventory, and integrity verification. - Operating rules: the unit charter

HR documentation is distinct from foundational documents, which the Documentation unit owns. - Operating rules: the unit charter

- Note: the legacy
innovation-lead.mdrole is superseded by the Innovation Director (its functional successor) and was retired in Wave 0 (R10); its agent file no longer exists in.claude/agents/and the roster entry below is retained for traceability only. The Competitive Intelligence Analyst’sreports toline correctly references “Innovation Director” (confirmed by HR, 2026-06-01, Wave 0 roster hygiene). - Operating rules: the unit charter

Conventions
- Each unit has exactly one Lead and a defined Mission and owned
artifacts. Unit Leads are Directors — they coordinate continuously with
peer Directors and their unit members (
hr/policies/communication.md). - Every employee has a complete job description (its agent definition) and
strictly abides by the Employee Handbook (
hr/employee-handbook.md) and the Policy Library (hr/policies/). - Work may be delegated to background agents as needed
(
hr/policies/background-agents.md). - Unit Leads assume the work. Each Lead owns and personally performs their
unit’s work by default, and hires additional staff only when the work is
better allocated to a dedicated employee (see
hr/policies/staffing-and-delegation.md). New staff report to the hiring Lead. - The Personal Assistant delegates work to Unit Leads on the Principal’s behalf; Leads then assume or allocate it.
- New agents are added to the roster and placed in a unit (or marked unassigned until a unit exists).
- This chart is itself an archived document (see
archive/); update it whenever units or agents change.
