The AI org chart / Who does the work

Lines show work and human accountability, not legal ownership or executive appointments.

Card amounts are monthly planning scenarios, not measured company savings. Function hours and shared budgets are allocated across roles once; pilot work is excluded. Card amounts are rounded individually, so combined calculations can differ by a few cents. Edit the assumptions ↗

02 / What a role means here

Real assignments.
Human direction.

Each entry is a role assignment supported by company or workspace evidence. The snapshot includes agents doing current project work under my supervision, as well as agents running scheduled tasks.

One platform can fill several roles across different companies and functions. The totals count those assignments, not separate employees or unique AI agents. Pilots keep their own label.

Verification notes show the latest evidenced work; this is an assignment map, not a live activity feed.

An unverified branch means we haven’t confirmed an assignment for this snapshot. The chart makes no company executive appointment claims.

Scheduled agent

Supervised agent
