You're turning on AI agents, and someone is going to ask who each one answers to.
On October 5, Deloitte published "Frontier AI agents are testing enterprise control limits: 4 questions for leaders." Its answer is short. Give every agent "a verifiable identity, a defined owner, an approved purpose, and a bounded set of permissions." So here's a leadership team of 10 Claude agents, set up so each one has a seat, a single job and written limits ๐ Ten executive seats, one agent each: โ AI CEO, the Strategic Operator: priorities and resource calls โ AI CFO, the Numbers Machine: cash flow models and margin โ AI COO, the Process Surgeon: workflows and bottlenecks โ AI CRO, the Revenue Engine: the demo-to-close rate โ AI CMO, the Growth Architect: the funnel โ Five more: the CTO, Head of Product, Head of Growth, Customer Success and the CHRO Each agent is a full role prompt in five parts: who it is and how senior, your industry, the methods it uses, its constraints, and the shape of its answer. Put that next to Deloitte's line. The seat names who the agent is. The task is its purpose. The constraints block holds the limits you set: budget, timeline, headcount. And every agent ends with a written answer in a set format, so nothing moves until you read it. Prioritize. Forecast. Unblock. Close. The one item on Deloitte's list a prompt can't hold is the owner, and that's you. The agents give you each seat's reasoning. None of them signs anything or carries a number. The card has the word. Comment it below and I'll get you all 10 agents.
