Your job, in three things
The canonical software-company reference template selects a CEO-style coordination package for direction, judgment, and taste. This section describes that optional model, not a required runtime control loop.
What stays yours
Some calls only you can make. Where the company is going. Whether a deal is the right deal. Whether the work is on brand. Whether a particular tradeoff is the one to live with right now. These don’t scale with the company getting bigger — they’re structurally yours regardless.
In the reference package, selected principals pick up signals, form beliefs, run bets, make promises, execute, review, and learn. The package surfaces calls when they cross the authority line reserved for you.
The loop
The reference package’s day-to-day rhythm looks like this:
- You set or adjust direction — Through a conversation with the CEO. See Setting direction.
- The CEO interprets and delegates — Package-owned mandates get updated, teams pick up package-owned work, and the selected coordination model applies the new direction.
- Decisions come back to you when needed — Specific approvals, judgment calls, taste questions. See Approvals.
- You ask questions to stay informed — Status, what just shipped, what’s blocked, what should you be aware of. See Asking questions.
- The cycle continues — New information shifts your view, you adjust direction again. The exocorp tracks what you said when, so it knows what was true at each point.
Where you do this
Use the authenticated runtime API, a connected agent, or an operator interface contributed by the package that installed this company structure. The common runtime does not prescribe company-side UI. The platform dashboard at exocorp.ai/dashboard remains for fleet management such as provisioning and lifecycle controls.
