L3 · Execution
Five lines. Ninety-eight stops. One orchestrator.
Three readings of the same ninety-eight steps: the network map as transit lines with gates as interchanges, the orchestration chart as command structure, and the step detail line by line.

All five workflows on one canvas. Each line is a workflow, each stop a step, each diamond a gate — and the risers show every point where the Chief of Staff takes the baton.
Hover any stop to read the step. Click to pin it. Dashed risers mark the stops where the Chief of Staff holds the baton — architectural rule R1 forbids agent-to-agent coordination, so every one of the 98 steps that changes hands changes hands there.

The autonomy math, shown in full
Every step in every workflow, sorted by level.
| Workflow | Steps | A4 | A3 | A2 | A1 | A0 | Autonomy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WF1Value dispute with the franchise system | 22 | 11 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 77.3% |
| WF2Global position cascade | 17 | 13 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 88.2% |

Counting rule · 78 of 98 steps execute at A3 or A4 — 79.6%. WF4 is the lowest at 61.1%, against an A2 ceiling set by the General Counsel. A step counts as autonomous only at A3 or A4 — no human in the execution path. 78 of 98 steps qualify.
WF4 · 61.1% autonomous
WF4 runs at 61.1% — sixteen points below the next-lowest workflow. Five separate human decisions across eighteen steps is the load the conduct workflow carries by design.
The denominator
Where the twenty human steps actually sit
Twenty steps of ninety-eight keep a human in the execution path. They are concentrated, named and deadlined.

carrying fifteen gate firings between them — one step in WF3 combines G2 and G5 under a single eight-minute deadline

| Gate | Fires | Workflows | Who holds it |
|---|---|---|---|
| G1 | 4 | WF1, WF4, WF5 | CCO, or CEO+CCO+GC where the position is a values statement |
| G2 | 2 | WF2 (exception-only), WF3 (combined) | Claim owner; incident commander + GC in crisis |
| G3 | 4 | WF1, WF3, WF4, WF5 | GC with CCO or incident commander |
| G4 | 1 | WF4 | The principal whose name is on the words |
| G5 | 5 | All five | VP Comms, market leads, CCO, or GR leads by jurisdiction |
Fifteen gate firings across fourteen steps — one step in WF3 combines G2 and G5 under a single eight-minute crisis deadline.
