Every Inc: Organizational Genome
A single Claude Code session ran the complete AI-First Org Design Kit on Every Inc, acting as CEO Dan Shipper based on research into 63 published articles. It produced a full organizational specification — from identity and governance to agent configurations and evolution mechanisms — without human intervention between phases.
The article is itself part of the experiment: written as Dan, in his voice, about the process of encoding Every’s organizational operating system.
