Praesidium2
AI-Powered Team Operations for Greater Goods

Every business unit at Greater Goods gets its own team of AI agents that work alongside humans — handling operations, building institutional knowledge, and coordinating across departments. Praesidium2 is the platform that makes this possible: the command center that gives every team AI superpowers.

The Problem

⚠

Teams Are Stretched Thin

Every department juggles too many operational tasks with too few people. High-value work competes with routine reporting, status updates, and coordination overhead.

📚

Knowledge Walks Out the Door

When someone leaves, their expertise goes with them. Processes, vendor relationships, institutional context — all lost. New hires start from scratch every time.

💬

Coordination Is Expensive

Cross-department collaboration requires endless meetings, Slack threads, and email chains. Getting alignment on a simple status update can take days.

⏳

Manual Work Consumes Hours

Report generation, data entry, status tracking, PPC bid management — repetitive tasks that are necessary but take time away from strategic thinking.

The Solution

🤖

AI Teams for Every Business Unit

Each department gets its own team of AI agents — purpose-built for that unit's work. Marketing agents assist with campaign optimization. Product agents help track supply chain status. Tech agents support standup preparation and code drafting.

⚖

You Lead, Agents Support

Agents take care of routine operational tasks — generating reports, posting status updates, pulling data, and updating Jira tickets — so your team has more time for decisions, strategy, and creative problem-solving.

📈

Agents Learn Over Time

Every agent builds memory and skills as it works. Lessons learned, preferences, procedures — all preserved. Institutional knowledge is preserved and shared — teams build on what came before, and onboarding new members is faster.

🔧

Custom Tools, Built Faster V1.5

Need a tool that pulls HubSpot metrics? Describe it to a forge agent. It writes the code, tests it, and publishes it — freeing up engineering to focus on the complex, high-value work only they can do.

How It Works

Three layers working together — your team talks to agents, agents talk to your systems.

Phases to Production

Business Infrastructure

✅

HITL Approval Workflow

Human-in-the-loop orchestration via LangGraph checkpointing with tamper-proof approval hashing. By default, every Jira ticket, Slack message, and report generated by an agent requires explicit human approval before reaching production systems — but approval thresholds are operator-tunable. As confidence in agent behavior grows, operators can selectively relax or remove approval gates on a per-integration basis, up to full autonomous control.

📈

Success Metrics & KPIs

Target: measurable improvements in team productivity, execution velocity, and cross-team alignment across all 5 business teams. Tracked via time-saved metrics, task throughput, agent utilization reporting, and qualitative feedback from team leads.

👍

Human Feedback Loop

Thumbs up/down feedback on every agent output. Feedback is stored, analyzed, and used to improve agent behavior over time. Teams see quality trend dashboards.

🚀

Phased Rollout

Engineering deploys first (Phases 1-6), Marketing joins at Phase 7, remaining 3 teams added one per phase after stabilization. Me Health deferred until HIPAA controls are validated.

🔄

Rollback & Recovery

Undo any agent action, emergency kill switch for runaway agents, and GitOps-based service rollback. Every action is logged for full audit trail and reversal capability.

📈

Datadog Observability

Distributed tracing across all 5 services, custom agentic metrics (task latency, LLM token spend, approval throughput), and HIPAA-compliant log scanning. Full-stack visibility from browser click to agent action.

🚨

Business-Value Kill Criteria

30-day and 60-day gates measure real business impact. If agents aren't saving time or delivering value, deployment pauses for root-cause analysis before proceeding.

V1 Scope & Roadmap

🎯

V1 Launch

3 integrations (Slack, Jira, GitHub), Agent Hydration Protocol, HITL orchestration, blind secret pipeline, Semantic Search API, Datadog observability, chat, dashboards, and the full qqq data layer. Engineering team live.

🔄

V1.1 (Post-Launch)

3 additional integrations: Confluence, Zoho, and Google Workspace. All 5 business teams onboarded and operational.

🔮

V1.5 (Post-Launch)

Tool Forge (agent-built custom tools), Memory/RAG (long-term knowledge), and Meeting Orchestration (automated standups and facilitation).

Timeline

Pre-Build

KPI Baseline

KPI baseline capture, stakeholder sign-off, environment provisioning

Phases 1-2

Core Platform

qqq data layer (92 tables), auth, gateway, Tool Runner, CI/CD pipeline, dashboard UI

Phases 3-4

Agent Runtime

Remaining 3 teams added progressively. V1.1 (3 more integrations) post-launch. V1.5 (Tool Forge, Memory/RAG) post-launch

7-phase build plan: Pre-Build + 6 build phases + 1 stabilization phase. 3-person build team (CTO + 2 engineers) augmented by unlimited Claude Code agents. Existing AWS EKS + Faber CI/CD. Re-sequenced build: Tool Runner (Hands) before Agent Workers (Brain).

What Changes for Leaders

"Your daily standup runs automatically — you get a summary in Slack."

Agents facilitate meetings, capture action items, and post summaries to the channels you already use. You start your day with context instead of a calendar block.

"Your agents handle Jira and reports — you review, approve, and give feedback."

Agents create tickets, generate reports, and track status. Every output goes through human approval during rollout, and your thumbs up/down feedback trains agents to get better over time.

"Need a custom tool? Describe it and an agent builds it for you."

The Tool Forge (V1.5) lets you work one-on-one with an AI to build exactly the tool you need. Simple tools ship immediately; complex ones still get the engineering rigor they deserve. Everyone moves faster.
