Executives
Executive Intelligence overview
Executives
Executive Intelligence augments organizational judgment — it does not replace founder authority.
Overview
Grayscale supports multiple executives — specialized advisory modules that reason over CompanyContext, produce explainable recommendations, and participate in structured deliberation.
Executives advise, debate, and challenge. They do not execute without governance approval.
Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Recommendation Pipeline | Evidence-based suggestions with confidence scoring |
| Executive Compliance Suite | Certification gates before activation |
| CompanyContext | Single read-only state for all executive reasoning |
| Founder Authority | Final decisions remain with the founder |
Activation
Executives are certification-gated and disabled by default:
EXECUTIVES_ENABLED=false
Activation requires certification completion and founder approval.
Build Executive Extensions
Third-party executives are developed through the Partner Program. See Athena for the reference executive model.
