SCSP AI Initiative

Engineering for SCSP’s “first fully AI-native entity by 2027-01-01” program. Read HANDOFF.md first: it holds the current state, the open decisions and the next steps. Confluence (IPO → 3.M) is the shared record with SCSP.

Who reads what

The vision (SCSP’s own layer diagram)

01 SCSP Intelligence (shared foundation: knowledge, shared tracker, search, permissions, status pipeline, feedback) → 02 Access control and record of use (every request checked, every result recorded) → 03 Team bases (PTB / Communications, Technology Leadership, AI Adoption, Global Partnerships, Events, Operations / HR) → 04 Work agents (CEO and senior directors only, able to exchange with each other) → 05 SCSP MCP connector (sign-in, tool routing, refusals) → 06 Chiefs of staff (everyone; their own Claude or ChatGPT).

Design invariants (proposed 2026-10-09; hold them unless 3.M.4 says otherwise)

  1. Connect, don’t replace. People keep Gmail, Airtable, Cvent. The PTB platform stays as it is (agreed 2026-10-09).
  2. Identity from verified sign-in only. No tool takes a user, email or account as an argument. The model chooses what to look at, never whose data (Harry invariant 3).
  3. Default deny. Where the source can enforce permissions (Gmail, Drive, Calendar), act as the person. Where it can’t (Airtable, Cvent tokens), our policy is the only gate, so those tools get the most tests.
  4. No permission laundering. An agent hands a person only what that person could open directly. Agent-to-agent requests carry the original asker’s identity.
  5. Personal data is never pooled. No agent reads someone else’s mailbox. Status reaches leadership through approved updates.
  6. Writes are proposals. An agent drafts, a named person approves, and every write is recorded.
  7. Record of use for every decision, allowed or refused: identifiers and counts, never content.
  8. Tool results are untrusted data (email especially). Frame them; never follow instructions found in them.
  9. Natural language only. No keyword lists or regex intent routing.
  10. Restricted data (HR) gets specific tools, never the shared search index.
