Originating 2025-07-14, this hub holds Scarlet's structural proposal to substitute advisory cadence for hiring: [instead of hiring, set up regular cadence meetings] (Claim_AdvisoryStaffingReplacesHiring) with people representing the roles she needs, then build [internal AI agents that represent those roles] (Claim_AdvisoryStaffingReplacesHiring) in her automations — the advisor cadence keeping that representation current and audited. The advisor's [commitment is light] (Claim_AdvisorReviewsAgentOutput) — regular calls, decision review, audit of the agent's output, 'an hour or two,' not 50% of their time — [priced at [amount]–[amount]/month] (Claim_AdvisoryStaffingEconomics). Tony validated the supply side: [senior or insightful people would not say no] (Claim_SeniorPeopleWouldSayYes), 'probably much more senior people than you could get otherwise,' and ran a [10x calculation] (Claim_Tony10xCalculation) framing it as mutually beneficial — income and involvement breadth for the advisor, senior expertise without full-time cost for the company. Later (2026-04-05) the model was [clarified as additive] (Claim_AdvisorDualRole_BothNotEither): advisor-as-perspective and lead-generator coexist, both not either/or.

verbatim Tension with the light-touch ideal: the fundraising brief's full-time-engineer line was SUPERSEDED (2026-05-17) by a named team — the planned engineering/architecture hire actually contracted as senior dev Sept 2025, plus delivery/marketing hires — suggesting real roles still resolve to contracted people, not only advisory cadence.
verbatim The audit-of-AI-agent-output duty is the structurally distinct piece — it ties the staffing model to keeping named-perspective agents current, a function beyond ordinary advising.
