CogniScaleFormula AI Control Centre · how it works

How the Formula AI Control Centre works

Every person gets a co-CEO that knows their role, reads the organisation's living knowledge, and briefs them each morning. Specialist AI colleagues do the standing jobs. Everything is governed: who may see what, what is approved, what is current. Ten short sections, top to bottom.

1 One organisation, by level

Your organisation People members and administrators Skills shelf reusable know-how, one shelf per organisation Connected Colleagues specialist AI colleagues, one job each Workspace Brains · your organisation's living knowledge one or more per organisation · three access levels · rooms inside Accountable lead the director, function head or founder responsible for this brain Leadership their leadership team · the sensitive operating detail Team everyone in the organisation · the general picture Rooms for what the business cares about: locations · countries · people · customers · suppliers · partners
People, the skills shelf and the Connected Colleagues belong to the organisation. Its knowledge lives in Workspace Brains, read at three levels, divided into rooms for the things the business cares about.

2 Where everything lives

The front desk · Control Centre every request passes here and is checked first app.cogniscale.com checks your card reads the brains reads the shelves hands over a signed bundle The register who exists, who holds which card, what is approved Supabase · row-level security Workspace Brains dated fact cards on pages, one private store per brain GitHub · private Shelves the skills shelf and the sealed Connected Colleague packages GitHub · private Each person's Mac the co-CEO runs here and reads only the brains this person holds a card for personal notes stay here Nothing is stored twice. Nothing leaves a store without the front desk checking the register first.
The register knows who and what exists. The Workspace Brains hold the knowledge. The shelves hold the know-how and the colleague packages. Each Mac fetches only what its person may see, and the co-CEO reads from there.

3 How knowledge gets in, and stays current

Your estate email · documents calls & transcripts Slack · calendar read with permission Read & date-stamp each fact carries its source, when it happened and when it was learned File onto pages in the room it belongs to: a customer, a location, a supplier, a person Keep it current newer facts supersede older; every page carries a last-verified stamp Where sources disagree, the disagreement is recorded, not guessed. Nothing is silently overwritten. Before anything is served, source health is checked, so old information is shown as last verified, never as current. The brain remembers everything that matters. The co-CEO decides what matters today.
The Workspace Brain machinery reaches into the systems you already use, with permission, and turns what changed into dated fact cards on pages. Staleness is designed out: every fact has its dates, every page its last-verified stamp.

4 What happens when a co-CEO opens

1 · Open a small helper on your Mac asks the front desk 2 · Check the register says which brains you hold a card for 3 · Bundle a signed bundle of those brains, verified on your Mac 4 · Work your co-CEO opens with your email, documents and calendar Your connections are yours, granted once, with permission. A bundle that does not match the approved version is refused. Nobody needs to understand repositories, packages or models to use it.
Four steps, a few seconds. Your own connections stay yours; the platform signs what it hands over and your Mac checks the signature.

5 Every morning: the briefing

What you hear first

  • The highest-impact priorities, then the other flags
  • What changed in the last 24 hours and the last week
  • The state of play for each area you own
  • Today's calls, with the background to each

Why it is yours

Emphasis and order come from your profile: role, responsibilities, goals, measures, decision authority and key relationships. Two people receive different briefings from the same knowledge.

Facts and recommendations, kept apart

Every fact names its source and its date. Recommendations are marked as the co-CEO's, so you always know which is which.

6 Commitments: what you owe, and what you are owed

Captured as they happen

As calls and messages are processed, promises become structured records: who owes what, to whom, by when, with the quoted line as evidence.

Both directions

Owner and recipient are both recorded, so you see what you owe others and what others owe you.

A checklist, not a task pile

Items stay open until there is evidence of completion, cancellation or supersession, and arrive as a review-and-prioritise list each morning.

7 Connected Colleagues: made in four steps, governed from day one

1 · Ask tell your co-CEO the job 2 · Interview a few short questions 3 · Approve registered with its skills 4 · Launch it opens like your co-CEO Behind step 3 the platform writes a sealed package for the colleague. Nobody edits files by hand. Private by default; shared with named people when you choose.
A Connected Colleague is a specialist co-CEO with one job, defined by a small package the platform writes for you.

An inventory of every AI colleague

Role, owner, named administrators, visibility, skills, versions and release history, and the time it saves.

Approved before it works

A colleague becomes usable only when its release is approved by its owner or an administrator, and it launches from a sealed package, so what runs is exactly what was approved.

Identity that survives change

Changing the underlying AI model never changes a colleague's identity, blueprint, skills or memory.

8 Skills: the know-how on the shelf

One shelf per organisation

Seeded at creation from a standard enterprise set, then edited freely. No organisation reads another's shelf.

Three kinds of skill

Enterprise skills (generic and portable), organisation skills (yours), and private skills (one person's). A member can offer a private skill to the shelf for approval.

Referenced, never copied

Colleagues reference approved skills from the shelf, so an improvement to a skill reaches every colleague that uses it.

9 Who sees what

Nested levels

Team members see the general picture. Leadership sees the sensitive operating detail. The accountable lead sees restricted personal and commercial material.

A label on every fact

Each fact carries the narrowest correct visibility label. Membership of the room decides who reads it. Participants always see what they were part of.

Safe by default

Anything uncertain is filed at the most restricted level until a person decides otherwise.

Team pulse

A periodic pulse of how AI and new ways of working are landing across the team, with insight views for leaders.

10 The words

Organisation — the building; everything belongs to exactly one.
Workspace Brain — the organisation's living knowledge: dated fact cards on pages, read at three levels.
Room — a section of a brain for one thing the business cares about: a location, a country, a person, a customer, a supplier, a partner.
Card — a person's membership of a brain at a level; it decides what they can read.
Fact card — one fact with its source, when it happened and when it was learned.
Skills shelf — reusable know-how; one shelf per organisation.
Connected Colleague — a specialist co-CEO with one job and its own sealed package.
The register — the index of who exists, who holds which card, what is approved.
The front desk — the Control Centre; every request passes it.
Personal notes — a person's own notes, on their own Mac, read by nobody else.
