Coordinated decisions made by vetted Digital Double Teams
A Double for every decision-maker. Together they make the calls between the systems and processes.
01
Coordination
AI systems are fast. The handoffs between people aren’t.
The coordination tax
57%of the working day goes to coordinationcalls, meetings and ping-pong messaging
43%is left for the actual workcreating, not communicating
The manager’s day
40%of a manager’s time goes to their own tasksnearly all (97%) juggle doing and leading
275interruptions a dayone every two minutes
Microsoft Work Trend Index 2023: the average employee spends 57% of their time communicating (meetings, email, chat) and 43% creating — measured across Microsoft 365 users in all industries. Manager time: Gallup 2025. Interruptions: Microsoft Work Trend Index 2025.
More ideas, drafts, options and requests come in and need attention while you are stuck in another meeting.
02
The queue
Every handoff is a queue needing attention.
46 minof actual work
3 h 33 minfrom exception to resolution

Decisions come in sequence, each waiting its turn inside the inbox.
03
The gap
Every kind of workflow gets an AI tool, but the decision-making coordination stays human.
What firms get today
You → personal copilotsHelp the user with their own work — ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini.
Across → agent orchestrationRoutes work between agents — ServiceNow AI Agent Orchestrator, Salesforce Agentforce.
The gap
only you understand the context
only you know who and how to ask
only you make decisions to act
Gartner, August 2025: 40% of enterprise apps will include task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from under 5% in 2025.
04
The size
The gap is getting bigger — AI overloaded decision‑makers.
The overload
77%say AI has added to their workloadamong employees using AI
39%spend more time reviewing AI-generated contentamong employees using AI
The cost
$250Min wages lost every yearmanager time on ineffective decisions, typical Fortune 500
56%have to ask someone or book a meetingto get the information they need
Manager time: McKinsey, “Decision making in the age of urgency,” 2019 (n = 1,228). Asking: Atlassian, State of Teams 2025. AI workload: Upwork Research Institute & Workplace Intelligence, “From Burnout to Balance,” 2024 (n = 2,500; U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada).
05
The solution
To solve the problem, we offer one Digital Double Core
A coordinated and rehearsed set of policies that connects every decision-maker’s Double.
06
The DD Core
Each person trains a Double. Together they collaborate to prepare and make decisions.
PeopleStay accountable. Make the calls that need them.
At 20 decision-makers: 190 possible conversations — or 20 connections to one DD Core.
07
Efficiency
Your Double works with the DD Core and across your tools testing possible scenarios to bring you one call to make.

JudgmentHow one specific person weighs trade-offs
The trust gap
85% | 5%of major enterprises are piloting AI agents. Only 5% have moved them into production.
40%+of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by end-2027 — on cost, unclear value and weak risk controls.
Acting isn’t the hard part. Being trusted to decide is.
Cisco, March 2026 (enterprise customer survey) · Gartner, June 2025 (agentic AI project forecast).
10
The judgment
The judgment isn’t the task or ubiquitous AI knowledge — it’s the call.
37%of managers’ working time goes to making decisions.
McKinsey, “Decision making in the age of urgency,” 2019 (n = 1,228)
What to approve, when to push back, who to escalate to. That is judgment — and it lives in one head.
Digital Double11
Product
A Digital Double is a persistent and evolving model of a specific real manager’s judgment behavior.
Positioning stack
Cognitive AI
Cognitive AI is AI that models how specific people reason and decide — why its host makes the call, how they weigh it, and how the room will react. It sits above copilots and agents, which generate content or take actions.
It brings four categories into one layer:
Enterprise AI assistants & agents
Human digital twins
Behavioral simulation
Governed delegation
Digital Double
A new approach to superintelligence: a persistent, governed model of one person’s working judgment that collaborates with other Doubles. It is built on three commitments:
1
Models a real personThe unit is named human judgment, not a job title.
2
Proves itself in rehearsalEvery workflow earns confidence before deployment.

Every limit is set by the leader it belongs to, mirrors the authority matrix your investment and risk committees already approve, and every action is logged.

Product
Your Double has 3 jobs + 1 responsibility.
01Works with you
Personal operating layer
Ask job-specific questions, draft work, compare options, prepare decisions and reflect — without learning a new interface every time the AI stack changes.
02Consults for you
Company expertise network
Your Double can ask the authorized Doubles of top managers and specialists for context, precedent and judgment — and be borrowed by others to participate in simulation trainings.
03Acts for you
Vetted digital operator
Once your rules and policies are tested, the Double can send, decide, coordinate or represent you within explicit limits — escalating what still belongs to you.
04Coordination
Every Double plugs into one coordination layer — the DD Core — so the whole company’s Doubles work as one: sharing context, routing each case to the right person and staying inside your systems, rules and permissions.
14
01Personal operating layer
Your Double learns every and any other tool for you, so you don’t have to. The last AI interface you’ll ever need.
Talk to one AI, in your own words. No prompt craft, no new interface per tool.
It operates the rest. Your Double drives the tools you already pay for.
It decides like you — because it was calibrated on you, then proven in rehearsal.
15
02Consults for you
Your Double doesn’t have to know everything. It knows who does.
Ask one place“Can we add to this position today?” “What would our head trader do?” “How did we handle this before?”
Consult the right expertiseThe Double assembles the relevant human judgment, systems and precedent — instead of making you hunt for it.
Keep boundaries explicitExpert Doubles expose only the knowledge, decisions and workflows the company authorizes.
16
03Acts for you
Governed by design.
ConsentYou sign offand can revoke it anytime.
LimitsIt stays in boundsand asks when it can’t.
AuditEvery call is recordedwho, what, why and when.
17
04Coordination
A central decision core for the enterprise.
The application is designed to handle the heavy loads and strict security for large-scale operations.
18
Privacy & data sovereignty
Personal memory stays protected. Runs inside your boundary.
Security & encryption
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit
Third-party penetration testing
Built toward SOC 2, HIPAA and GDPR
Private deployment
Your AWS, Azure or GCP tenancy
Full data isolation per customer
Customer-managed encryption keys
Identity & personal memory
SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning
Memory: you and authorized people only
Every access traced, instant revocation
Zero public training. Personal memory, decision models and graphs stay your IP — in your own cloud tenancy.
19
Our approach
We train and test your Double to make your exact judgment calls.
Calibrate
Dual-sided model
A ~25-minute behavioral and professional interview builds your Double.
Rehearse
Workflow Gym
Your Double runs your real workflows again and again — while you correct its calls.
Test
Simulation Studio
Edge cases, pressure and hostile counterparts — every run is scored against your own call.
Release
Governed action
Once it clears your bar, it acts — with permissions, limits, escalation and a full audit trail.
Each Double learns from its host, rehearses real scenarios, and proves reliability before it earns authority.
20
Simulation Studio
Rehearse every call before you release it — from one workflow to strategic war games and company-wide simulation.

21
Earned trust
It earns trust the way a new hire does.
It watches real cases, then suggests. It acts only on the decisions it has proven it calls the way you do.
22
The moat
The moat is the company’s decision graph.
Policy mappings + personal IPLimits, exceptions and approval rules become executable objects — with departure rules for personal IP set up front.
Role permissionsThe real decision boundaries between PM, Risk, Compliance, Trading and Ops.
Workflow historiesEvery resolved case shows how this company actually coordinates.
Connector schemasEach integration maps the company’s systems into one decision model — costly to rebuild.
Approved evidence + outcomesA growing record that makes the next case faster to route and safer to act on.

Appendix · Methodology
Research-backed foundations.
Critical Decision Method
Developed by Gary Klein for high-stakes fields — firefighting, critical care, aviation. Captures the cues, trade-offs and risk thresholds behind real critical incidents, not hypothetical questionnaires.
CoALA cognitive architecture
Grounds the Double in structured working memory, long-term episodic recall and policy-bound action — so authority can’t drift (Sumers et al., 2023).
Generative agents
Persistent memory, retrieval and reflection keep a simulated person coherent over time — the basis for Doubles that remember what their host has seen (Park et al., 2023).
Cognitive Task Analysis
Structured interviews and observation that surface the tacit knowledge experts can’t easily put into words — the mental models, cues and strategies behind their calls (Crandall, Klein & Hoffman, 2006).
