Sentient

The arrival of artificial general intelligence is the most consequential change to the operating model of the enterprise in the modern era - and the methodologies that served the software-and-management age cannot be stretched to meet it. From Waterfall to Agile to SAFe, every framework in the lineage assumed one thing: that the work is decomposed, executed, and judged by humans. That assumption no longer holds.

Sentient sets out a different kind of answer. Not another methodology, but a constitutional framework for the enterprise as an institution operated jointly by humans, autonomous agents, and the software and robotic actors that carry out its work in the world. It specifies how authority is granted, how intent flows, how autonomy stays traceable, and how the whole system holds together when no one is watching the gate.

Three actor classes. Four values. Ten principles. Six operational elements. A complete operational specification for the AGI-era enterprise - and a standing invitation to build it.

Not the next methodology. The successor to all of them.
