Capability Schema\nEach capability needs:\n- Name + description\n- Primary domain + affected domains\n- Required data fields (what from Spine?)\n- AI prompt template (what does AI ask?)\n- Response template (how does AI suggest?)\n- Execution rules (what actions can it take?)\n- Learning rules (what to capture?)\n- Approval chain (who needs to sign off?)\n- Operating rhythm (daily/weekly/monthly?)\n\n### 2. Entity Enrichment\nEach entity type needs 13 dimensions implemented:\n- Identity + Relationships + State + Timeline + Tasks + Decisions + Conversations + Documents + Intelligence + Memory + Governance + Health + Signals + Automation + Twin + Metrics\n\n### 3. Orchestration\nHandoffs between capabilities:\n- When [capability A] completes → Trigger [capability B]\n- Pass context through the handoff\n- Notify affected teams\n- Track end-to-end workflow completion\n\n### 4. Operating Rhythms\nConfigure when capabilities activate:\n- Daily: Stand-ups, priorities, follow-ups\n- Weekly: Forecast, planning, reviews\n- Monthly: Payroll, renewals, reconciliation\n- Quarterly: Planning, hiring, budgets\n\n### 5. Learning Loop\nCapture + extract + improve:\n- Log every recommendation made\n- Capture human decision\n- Track actual outcome\n- Extract pattern\n- Improve future AI\n\n---\n\n## From Departments to Capabilities\n\n**Before (Siloed)**\n```\nSales thinks: \"I work in Sales\"\nCSM thinks: \"I work in Customer Success\"\nFinance thinks: \"I work in Finance\"\nResult: Silos, handoffs, misalignment\n```\n\n**After (Integrated)**\n```\nPerson thinks: \"I need to [close deal]\"\nSystem: \"That's 'Close Deal' capability. You need data from Sales, Finance, CSM, Legal\"\nSystem: \"Here's everything you need. Here's what AI recommends. You decide.\"\nPerson decides.\nSystem: Orchestrates across Sales/Finance/CSM/Legal automatically\nResult: Seamless, coordinated execution\n```\n\n---\n\n## Competitive Advantage\n\nBy completing all 4 phases:\n\n- **Speed**: 10x faster decision-making\n- **Quality**: Better data, better predictions, better decisions\n- **Efficiency**: 30% better unit economics (scale without headcount)\n- **Alignment**: Teams move as one, not silos\n- **Learning**: Organization gets smarter continuously\n- **Culture**: \"AI helps me do my job better\" instead of \"AI replacing me\"\n\n---\n\n## Next Week: Start Phase 1\n\n1. Define 40 core capabilities (Sales 12, CSM 8, Finance 9, Support 7, others 4)\n2. Build capability schema + lifecycle engine\n3. Implement first 5 capabilities\n4. Test end-to-end on real data\n5. Gather team feedback\n6. Iterate\n\nThis is not an incremental improvement.\n\nThis is a fundamental architectural shift from app-centric to capability-centric.\n\nFrom department workbenches to organizational operating system.\n\n"}
