ONE SHARED BRAIN

Five roles. One Brain. That's why they compound.

One decision inherits across departments — gated by blast radius, with a receipt and undo. Not five strangers. Not unsupervised write-access.

SSO required before renewal

We need SAML SSO before Acme's renewal — security won't sign without it.

YOUR ROLE

Exception handler — not babysitter.

One morning surface. Connect tools once. You are not managing five agent threads.

QUESTIONS

Straight answers.

Can a solo founder actually run on AI Squads?

Yes — once AI is doing real work across your tools. Connect what you already use, departments activate from signals, and you still own relationships, priorities, and every one-way door. If all you want is memory, your AI subscription is enough.

Solo founder breakdown

How do squads relate to tasks?

When a squad finds work, it cascades a normal task onto the same board — with context attached. Tasks execute; squads decide what is worth opening.

Task System

Is the PM surface a sixth squad?

No. Autonomous PM and board hygiene live in the Task System. Squads own functions (Engineering, Marketing, Accounts, Product, Strategy).

Autonomous PM

How are AI Squads different from an agent builder or agent store?

Builders give you parts. HiveBase gives an operating model: department roles, shared Brain, handoffs, receipts, gates, and autonomy that graduates by category — not a kit you wire yourself.

DIY vs pre-wired

Add the squad that hurts. Keep the rest ready.

The Brain is already shared. You still own relationships, roadmap, and every one-way door.
