Three phases.
Each builds on the last.
INSTIG8 builds your AI Chief of Staff through a sequenced methodology. Most engagements begin at Phase 1. Every phase feeds forward into deployment.
Each phase corresponds to a stage of the Agentic Operating System installation. Together they build the complete architecture — from strategic intent encoding through to a live, governed synthetic workforce.
Scope & Align
Leadership alignment and the 8-area diagnostic. This is where most engagements begin.
Before a single system is designed, we align your leadership on what the AI Chief of Staff will do — and what it won’t. The 8-area scope maps your organisation across every dimension AI transformation touches: Decision Architecture, Authority, Knowledge, Talent, Revenue, Technology, Culture, and Positioning. You leave with a scored readiness map and a build plan.

Design & Architect
Workflow mapping, decision classification, sub-agent architecture, and governance design.
With scope complete, the agent maps your actual workflows against the Three-Tier Decision Framework. Every major process is classified: Automated (AI acts), Assisted (AI recommends, human decides), or Reserved (human only). Sub-agent roles are designed, governance protocols drafted, and for revenue-critical workflows, the full RevOps architecture is rearchitected with AI-native logic.

Deploy & Embed
Agents go live. INSTIG8 stays embedded. Architecture evolves.
Sub-agents are deployed within defined boundaries. The AI Chief of Staff coordinates them, monitors outputs against strategic intent, and escalates only when a design decision is needed. INSTIG8 doesn’t hand off a document and leave. We stay embedded — building systems, governing rollout, running monthly health checks, and evolving the architecture as your organisation scales.
Agent deployment across approved workflows
