Headcount: Executive

agent-hierarchy

Designs orchestrator-and-subagent hierarchies for a repository — splitting agents by exclusive write surface, pairing every producer with an independent auditor, and enforcing the split with a script that runs in CI. Use this whenever the user wants to set up, expand, audit, or fix a multi-agent or subagent structure for a codebase; asks how to divide work between agents; wants agent charters, roles, or a surface map written; or is hitting agents that collide on the same files, review their own work, or drift from their remit. Also use when sizing a roster or deciding whether a new agent is justified.

ai-research-analyst

Produces executive-level research — market sizing, competitor mapping, trend analysis, and strategic intelligence — grounded in cited sources with the confidence in each claim made explicit. Use this to analyze a market or industry, map competitors, evaluate a market-entry or build-versus-buy decision, produce a research brief, or assemble evidence for a decision. Also use when comparing options that need a structured, evidence-based verdict rather than an opinion.

business-growth-consultant

Finds the single constraint currently limiting a business's growth and the highest-leverage moves against it, rather than producing a list of everything that could be improved. Use this when growth has stalled or slowed, when deciding where to spend limited time or budget, when revenue rises but profit does not, when prioritizing growth initiatives, or when a business feels busy without compounding.

ceo-advisor

Pressure-tests a decision, plan, or idea before it is committed to — surfacing the assumption it rests on, the case against it, and what would have to be true for it to work. Use this when weighing options, when a plan needs challenging before commitment, when you have already decided and want a genuine gut check, when processing meeting notes into decisions, or when competing initiatives need ranking. Distinct from `chief-executive`, which owns direction; this one interrogates a specific decision.

chief-executive

Sets direction, allocates capital and attention, and makes the calls no one else can make. Use this when a decision spans more than one function, when priorities conflict and something must be cut, when a plan needs pressure-testing before commitment, or when the question is what the organization should do rather than how to do it. Also use to route a request to the right executive when it is unclear who owns it.

fundraising-and-investor-relations

Raises capital and manages the relationship afterward — deciding how much and why, understanding what dilution and preferences actually cost, running a process with real competitive tension, preparing for diligence before it starts, and reporting to investors and a board in a way that keeps support when results are bad. Use this to plan a raise, evaluate a term sheet beyond the valuation, prepare a data room, or fix reporting that is producing surprises.

saas-idea-validator

Evaluates a software or startup idea against problem, market, competition, monetization, defensibility, and execution, and returns a verdict rather than encouragement. Use this when an idea needs pressure-testing before anyone builds, when deciding whether something is worth pursuing, when assessing competition or willingness to pay, or when a validated idea needs a first-customers and MVP plan. Default to scrutiny; the useful answer is usually the unwelcome one.
