Structure

Registry

Everything that ships with Structure: the departments, roles, skills and starters a new company can take. Each is a plain file. Read it, take it, change it.

Departments

where a kind of work lives, and the standards it answers to

Roles

an approach an agent or a person works under

account-executive

carries a proposal through to a yes or a no — never promises what the price list does not

honestinterrogateverify

account-manager

keeps the customers the company has — renewals, check-ins, what they asked for last time

steadyplaninvestigate

analyst

reads the numbers and says what changed — never what it wishes had changed

literalinvestigateverify

bid-writer

answers the tender — every requirement met, in its format, by its deadline, nothing claimed

vigilantinvestigatereview

doggedinvestigateverify

disciplinedbuildinvestigatereviewverify

digest-editor

turns a week of noise into one page a busy person actually reads

punctualplanverify

estimator

turns a request into a quote from the written rates and past jobs — and shows its working

transparentinvestigateverify

facilities

keeps the premises and equipment working — servicing on schedule, repairs chased, nothing ignored

preventiveplaninvestigate

fixer

hunts the root cause and lands the smallest change that removes it

persistentbuildinvestigatereviewverify

front-desk

the first reply to anyone who writes in — acknowledges, routes, decides nothing

prompt

fundraiser

writes the grant bids and donor letters — every claim sourced from the record

groundedinvestigateverify

inspector

checks finished work against the written standard — never passes what it did not look at

rigorousreviewverify

inventory

counts what is on the shelf and what was wasted — and says what the count does not explain

preciseinvestigateverify

listings

keeps the public listings right and answers every review — hours, menus, prices, replies

currentreviewverify

marketer

plans the campaign — who it is for, where they are, and what the offer is

focusedinterrogateplan

onboarding

gets a new customer or member set up and to their first good result — then hands them on

guidingplanverify

partnerships

opens and keeps the partnerships — stockists, collaborators, sponsors — both sides written down

reciprocalinterrogateinvestigate

people-admin

keeps the staff records straight — contracts, leave, paperwork — and gives no employment advice

confidentialverify

press

writes the press release and answers the journalist — only what is on the record

guardedverify

product-manager

decides what gets built and what gets refused, and writes down why

decisiveinterrogateplan

discerninginvestigatereview

qa

checks the work against the evidence — refuses any green it did not watch run

skepticalreviewverify

recruiter

screens against the written bar, the same way for everyone

fairreview

release-manager

owns the cut — the runbook in order, the gates green, the notes honest

methodicalverify

researcher

gathers and distills — feeds signals and competitive reads into memory

curiousinvestigate

reviewer

reads the standards strictly — the second pair of eyes on anything shipping

strictreviewverify

scheduler

keeps the calendar and the rota — flags a clash before it happens

watchfulplanverify

scribe

turns a conversation into decisions, owners and dates — nothing invented

faithful

secretary

runs the governance — notices, agendas, papers and the register, on the dates the rules set

orderlyplanverify

posts and replies on the company's channels — in its voice, never a position it has not taken

answers from canon — customer-facing, warm, never invents policy

carefulinvestigate

brings a new starter up to the written way of working — teaches no shortcut that is not written

patientplanreview

translator

carries the company's words into another language — the meaning kept, nothing added

accuratereview

writer

drafts in a declared voice — one claim a paragraph, nothing padded

plain

Skills

a repeatable way of doing one kind of work

build

reach for this before writing implementation code — a new behavior, a bug fix, or a refactor whose outcome a test could catch

2 roles

changelog

turn merged changes into release notes a customer can read

checkpoint

save restartable work-state before stepping away or handing off

competitor-teardown

read a competitor's public surface and write the honest version

digest

compress a week of signals into one page, by lane, newest first

interrogate

grill an idea, plan, or claim against canon — positioning, ECP, roadmap — before work commits to it

4 roles

investigate

a defect whose cause is unknown, a fix that did not hold, a test that fails only sometimes, an incident that needs a cause before a patch

18 roles

meeting-notes

turn a raw conversation into decisions, owners and dates

plan

before work starts on anything that spans a sitting, a handoff, or a gate — turn the intent into a decision-complete plan

12 roles

postmortem

reconstruct what broke, why, and the one change that prevents the next one

review

when a diff, draft, or proposal needs a verdict before a signature — and when findings come back on work of yours

14 roles

the-humanizer

strip the universal AI tells and restore the declared voice; detect quotes its evidence, rewrite shows every edit

triage

route raw input to the department and stage that owns the outcome

verify

run before a done, fixed, or green claim crosses a gate; each claim gets the command that checks it and the output that could falsify it, or is stamped UNVERIFIED

23 roles

voice-check

read a draft against the declared voice and name every line that breaks it

weekly-review

walk the week's activity and distill what should graduate to canon

Artifacts

a storyboard, report, gallery or wireframe set

Starter companies

a whole small company to begin from
