Composition
The first phase of every engagement. We study how the operation actually works, identify what staff is warranted, and design the composition that follows.
How We Deploy
Composition is the part of the work that most operators have never done before. They have decisions in their head, standards they've never written down, a voice that's never been described. We turn this into something an agent can read.
The resulting documentation outlives the engagement. Even if you stopped using The Retinue tomorrow, you would still have the asset: a complete description of how your operation actually works.
01
Conversation
We talk about the work. Not in abstract terms but in the textures of your week. What consumes the most time. What only you can do. What you wish would simply happen.
02
Mapping
We study the operation alongside you. We read past correspondence, sit with workflows, surface the standards you've never named.
03
Design
We propose the composition. Which digital employees are warranted, what each should attend to, where the boundaries sit. You approve before any agent is built.
04
Handoff
The composition is documented in a form you keep. The map of your operation, written down. The Retinue is built from this map.
