DIGITAL TEAM / OPERATING ROLES

Six digital roles. One accountable workflow.

Each software role has one job. They work from shared records, challenge one another and leave consequential decisions to people.

INTERACTIVE COUNCIL

Choose a role to see its job and limits. Portraits are fictional interfaces, not people or live-status indicators.
