Cohort 1 starts August 3 — the waitlist locks your pre-sale price
An Encoded Company is your judgment, your departments, and 19 working tools — CRM, finance, projects, billing — written into files you own outright. Boot the folder and the business runs.

Everything the business already produces — playbooks, inboxes, records, notes — feeds one encoder. It comes out as systems agents can run.

out · the running os
The folder is the company. An orchestrator routes work to department heads, specialists execute, and anything that needs judgment comes back to you as a decision — not a to-do list.
the folder routes work to department heads · specialists execute · decisions come back to you
Agent departments — built like a real company: heads route, specialists execute, every decision is logged.
You stay in the loop — five autonomy levels per decision. Nothing ships past the level you set.
Yours outright — files you own, runtime-agnostic, transfers with the business. Not a SaaS, no seats.
Five files boot the company. Departments hold the judgment. Agents do the work. Skills are the moves — written down with evidence, not vibes.

Three moves turn how you run the business into a system that runs it: encode your judgment, set how much runs alone, and wire in the tools you already use.
Your judgment, encoded
It starts with an interview, not an install. The calls only you can make — when to walk away, what quality is worth absorbing cost for, what your pricing really depends on — become rules a system can run.
we ask you
- What do you check first?
- What do new people always get wrong?
- What decision can only you make?
- When do you go off the standard process?
- What separates good work from great work?

flag any job ±20% off historical cost
## escalation
new-client discounts — founder decides, no exceptions
documentation describes · encoding runs
Agents act. You approve.
Every decision runs at a level you set — from look-it-up to runs-alone. Standard work flows on its own; exceptions and anything irreversible come back to you first.
you set the level per decision · nothing ships past it
Plugged into the tools you already use
Gmail, Slack, Stripe, Notion, your CRM — connect once and every signal lands in one data layer. Every agent inherits access. Nothing moves to a new app.
