The job
A company you have never seen has hired you to get AI actually used, not talked about. You have two years. That is eight quarters, and the whole thing takes about three minutes.
Your goal. Get as much of the company genuinely using AI as you can.
How you lose. The board runs out of patience and pulls your mandate. Then you are out, whatever quarter you are in.
The board is your company
Three moves a quarter
You can only do three things a quarter, so what you skip matters as much as what you buy. Every move is explained again on screen when you pick it up.
What goes wrong
A threat appears on the edge of the board and sits there for a whole quarter before it moves. That is your warning.
And one that does not walk in. Risk climbs on its own as more of the company runs on AI. Push it too high and something goes publicly wrong on your most adopted team, unless you put an eval harness on it.
How you win
Your score is how far up that ladder you got them, how many teams ended up adopted, how much mandate you had left, and how much budget you did not need. Incidents and lost teams come off it.
The leaderboard is the point. Every company is worth the same, because the harder ones carry a score multiplier. Top of the board at the end of the day wins a Clawdmeter.
Two ways to lose that nobody expects. Sprinting: build everywhere, skip the boring safety work, and one incident takes half your board. Turtling: play safe, ship nothing, and the board pulls your mandate for having nothing to show.
Fair company
No connection right now, so that placing is this phone's guess from the last board it saw.
