01
Identity
Each worker is a named, persistent entity with a history that survives model and tooling changes.
Workforce
Specialized workers. One coordinated organization.
A Montus worker is a persistent entity with a role, an objective, bounded authority, dependencies, a supervisor and a record of what it established. Workers specialize; the system coordinates.
02
Role
A defined function inside a team — finance reconciliation, research, coordination, reporting.
03
Authority
An explicit list of what the worker may do alone, and what requires a human decision.
04
Context
Scoped access to the information the role requires. Context is not unrestricted data access.
05
Dependencies
Workers understand which work they rely on and which work relies on them.
06
Evidence
Work is described by what has been established, not by what was reported.
07
Escalation
A defined path for ambiguity, conflict, or work that exceeds authority.
08
Supervision
Every worker reports to a human owner who can inspect, pause, or redirect it.
09
Completion
A definition of done expressed as obligations, not as a self-declared status.
