FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Workplace CultureCLUSTER: ai_colleagues

The forecasted company design philosophy that defaults every process to machine-executable first, with human involvement added only where genuinely necessary, distinct from an autonomous company by being a stated design principle rather than a description of current operational reality.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"It's explicitly a machine-first company, every new process gets designed for an agent to run before anyone even asks if a human should."

LORE & ORIGIN
