Organization
Ari (Owner) → Hermes (AI Chief of Staff) → Product Planning Cell (Product Architect + Product Critic) → PRD Gate Engine (SYSTEM, not an employee) → Developer / QA / Security / DevOps. Hermes receives owner direction and coordinates all teams; the Planning Cell prepares the PRD before work is handed off to build. Click a person node to open the employee detail. The PRD Gate is a policy/system component and intentionally has no employee page.
