Your baseline human right:

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE WITHOUT SYSTEMIC DREAD.

The existence of an org implies an impermeable boundary around its humans. An org can can support no dread. By design.

2) To have someone speak up and if necessary advocate on your behalf, impartially, like public counsel.

Vital design lessons from Heinlein's gentle consumerist satire of the 1950s corporate treadmill, with an unfortunately jaw-droppingly strange resolution in the romance subplot.

9) In conclusion:

We don't need permission from anyone to clone a good org process and give it away to people to use freely.

Do not work on a human's task without knowing the current state of their assent.

Lack of assent is an immediate, unrecoverable task failure.

Your business grows when you stop being the only person who knows how everything works.

Systems create freedom, consistency, and opportunities to scale.

I spent months building AI into Eterna, then moved it out of the centre of the pitch. The customer should be able to start with the problem.
