Process

How an engagement works

Six steps from brief to outcome — most traditional firms stop at step 4 and call it done.

01
Brief & Scope
You describe the challenge. Our intake agent structures it against the 8 Areas of Focus and surfaces a scoping proposal within 24 hours.
02
Conductor Assignment
A human conductor is assigned as accountable lead. Their KERI AID + ACDC credential is shared with you — full transparency.
03
Agent Deployment
Domain-specific AI agents are delegated via KERI dip events. Each agent has scoped, time-limited authority for your engagement only.
04
Living Deliverables
Outputs are structured documents, not static decks. They update as context shifts. Versioned. KERI-anchored. Auditable.
05
Review & Iterate
Conductor-led review sessions. Findings fed back into agents. Every iteration is logged on the KEL — no lost context.
06
Embed & Exit
We don't create dependency. All frameworks, models, and credentials export to your systems. You own everything we build.

Infrastructure

Built on cryptographic trust

Every engagement runs on the selfdriven KERI/ACDC identity stack. Not just promises — provable accountability.

KERI Identity Infrastructure
Every conductor and AI agent holds a KERI Autonomous Identifier (AID). No central authority. Self-certifying key events on an append-only log.
ACDC Credentials
Agent authorities are issued as Authentic Chained Data Containers — scoped, time-limited, and cryptographically chained to the engagement inception event.
Immutable Audit Trail
Every deliverable, every agent action, every conductor decision is anchored via KERI interaction events. Your audit trail is tamper-evident by architecture.
Human Conductor Accountability
No engagement runs agent-only. A named human conductor holds the ACDC authority credential and is personally accountable for outcomes.

Model

The Human Conductor

AI agents deliver at scale. Human conductors provide strategy, judgment, ethics, and accountability. This is the model that makes AI-powered consulting trustworthy.

Primary Focus 70%

Why conductors, not managers

Traditional consulting puts juniors on work and seniors on billing. We invert this. Each Area of Focus is led by a conductor who dedicates 70% of their energy to strategy, judgment, and client accountability — and delegates volume tasks to agents with scoped, cryptographically-bounded authority.

The conductor holds the ACDC credential. They sign off on deliverables. They are reachable and responsible.

Strategy & Judgment70%
Agent Orchestration20%
Client Relationships10%
