Build a Digital
Double Organization

Coordinated decisions with speed and confidence.

Coordination

AI systems are fast. The handoffs between people aren’t.

The coordination tax

57%of the working day goes to coordinationcalls, meetings and ping-pong messaging
43%is left for the actual workcreating, not communicating

The manager’s day

40%of a manager’s time goes to their own tasksnearly all (97%) juggle doing and leading
275interruptions a dayone every two minutes

Microsoft Work Trend Index 2023: the average employee spends 57% of their time communicating (meetings, email, chat) and 43% creating — measured across Microsoft 365 users in all industries. Manager time: Gallup 2025. Interruptions: Microsoft Work Trend Index 2025.

The gap

Every kind of workflow gets an AI tool,
but the decision-making coordination stays human.

What firms get today

Personal copilotsHelp the user with their own work — ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini.
In-app agentsAutomate tasks inside internal systems — CRM, OMS, ticketing.
Agent orchestrationRoutes work between agents —
ServiceNow AI Agent Orchestrator, Salesforce Agentforce.

Still on you

  • only you understand the context
  • only you know who and how to ask
  • only you make decisions to act

Gartner, August 2025: 40% of enterprise apps will include task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from under 5% in 2025.

The problem

The pressure is building — AI overloaded decision‑makers.

The overload

77%say AI has added to their workloadamong employees using AI
39%spend more time reviewing AI-generated contentamong employees using AI

The cost

$250Min wages lost every yearmanager time on ineffective decisions, typical Fortune 500
56%have to ask someone or book a meetingto get the information they need

Manager time: McKinsey, “Decision making in the age of urgency,” 2019 (n = 1,228). Asking: Atlassian, State of Teams 2025. AI workload: Upwork Research Institute & Workplace Intelligence, “From Burnout to Balance,” 2024 (n = 2,500; U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada).

The solution

Each person trains a Double. Together they collaborate to prepare and make decisions on your behalf.

PeopleStay accountable. Make the calls that need them.
DoublesCalibrated on each person’s judgment.
DD CoreOne shared case, state and rulebook.
Enterprise systemsPMS, OMS/EMS, risk, compliance, post-trade.
At 20 decision-makers: 190 possible conversations — or 20 connections to one DD Core.

The trust gap

85% | 5%of major enterprises are piloting AI agents. Only 5% have moved them into production.
40%+of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by end-2027 — on cost, unclear value and weak risk controls.

Acting isn’t the hard part.
Being trusted to decide is.

Cisco, March 2026 (enterprise customer survey) · Gartner, June 2025 (agentic AI project forecast).

The judgment

The judgment isn’t the task or ubiquitous AI knowledge —
it’s the why and how of the decision-making.

37%of managers’ working time
goes to making decisions.

McKinsey, “Decision making in the age of urgency,” 2019 (n = 1,228)

What to approve, when to push back, who to escalate to. That is judgment — and it lives in one head.

Product

A Digital Double is a persistent and evolving model of a specific real manager’s judgment behavior.

Positioning stack

Cognitive AI

Cognitive AI is AI that models how specific people reason and decide — why its host makes the call, how they weigh it, and how the room will react. It sits above copilots and agents, which generate content or take actions.

It brings four categories into one layer:

  • Enterprise AI assistants & agents
  • Human digital twins
  • Behavioral simulation
  • Governed delegation

Digital Double

A new approach to superintelligence: a persistent, governed model of one person’s working judgment that collaborates with other Doubles. It is built on three commitments:

  1. 1
    Models a real personThe unit is named human judgment, not a job title.
  2. 2
    Proves itself in rehearsalEvery workflow earns confidence before deployment.
  3. 3
    Acts with governanceApprovals, limits, escalation and audit are product features.

Our approach

We train and test your Double to make your exact judgment calls.

Calibrate

Dual-sided model

A ~25-minute behavioral and professional interview builds your Double.

Rehearse

Workflow Gym

Your Double runs your real workflows again and again — while you correct its calls.

Test

Simulation Studio

Edge cases, pressure and hostile counterparts — every run is scored against your own call.

Release

Governed action

Once it clears your bar, it acts — with permissions, limits, escalation and a full audit trail.

Each Double learns from its host, rehearses real scenarios, and proves reliability before it earns authority.

Simulation Studio

Rehearse every call before you release it — from one workflow to strategic war games and company-wide simulation.

The simulator doesn’t make AI feel safer. It generates the evidence needed to release it safely.

From the Digital Double Studio room library. Any room can be recomposed. Simulation output is illustrative.

Earned trust

It earns trust the way a new hire does.

It watches real cases, then suggests. It acts only on the decisions it has proven it calls the way you do.

Why now

Why now.

Agents can finally actTool use, computer use and open connector standards made it cheap for AI to operate real software. Action is no longer the bottleneck — trust is.
Replication is measurableInterview-based agents reproduced 1,052 people’s answers at 85% of the consistency those people show with themselves.
Tool fatigue is peakingCompanies roll out AI faster than people can learn it. The winning interface is the one nobody has to learn.
Budgets are movingEnterprise software spend reaches ~$1.47T in 2026, growing 15.5%. Budgets are shifting from more tools to software that does the work.

Park, J.S. et al., “Generative Agent Simulations of 1,000 People,” Stanford / arXiv, 2024 · Gartner IT spending forecast, July 2026 (software).

Efficiency

Your Double works with the DD Core and across your tools
testing possible scenarios to bring you one call to make.

Digital DoubleCognitive decision layer

Assessment based on each product’s public capabilities, October 2026.

Product

Your Double has 3 jobs.

01Works with you

Personal operating layer

Ask job-specific questions, draft work, compare options, prepare decisions and reflect — without learning a new interface every time the AI stack changes.

02Consults for you

Company expertise network

Your Double can ask the authorized Doubles of top managers and specialists for context, precedent and judgment — and be borrowed by others to participate in simulation trainings.

03Acts for you

Vetted digital operator

Once your rules are tested, the Double sends, decides and represents you within explicit limits — escalating the rest and working with other Doubles through the DD Core.

01Personal operating layer

Your Double learns every and any other tool for you, so you don’t have to. The last AI interface you’ll ever need.

Talk to one AI, in your own words. No prompt craft, no new interface per tool.
It operates the rest. Your Double drives the tools you already pay for.
It decides like you — because it was calibrated on you, then proven in rehearsal.

02Consults for you

Your Double doesn’t have to know everything. It knows who does.

Ask one place“Can we add to this position today?” “What would our head trader do?” “How did we handle this before?”
Consult the right expertiseThe Double assembles the relevant human judgment, systems and precedent — instead of making you hunt for it.
Keep boundaries explicitExpert Doubles expose only the knowledge, decisions and workflows the company authorizes.

03Acts for you

Governed by design.

ConsentYou sign offand can revoke it anytime.
LimitsIt stays in boundsand asks when it can’t.
AuditEvery call is recordedwho, what, why and when.

Coordination

A central decision core for the enterprise.

The application is designed to handle the heavy loads and strict security for large-scale operations.

The moat

The moat is the company’s decision graph.

Policy mappings + personal IPLimits, exceptions and approval rules become executable objects — with departure rules for personal IP set up front.
Role permissionsThe real decision boundaries between PM, Risk, Compliance, Trading and Ops.
Workflow historiesEvery resolved case shows how this company actually coordinates.
Connector schemasEach integration maps the company’s systems into one decision model — costly to rebuild.
Approved evidence + outcomesA growing record that makes the next case faster to route and safer to act on.

Privacy & data sovereignty

Personal memory stays protected. Runs inside your boundary.

Security & encryption

  • AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit
  • Third-party penetration testing
  • Built toward SOC 2, HIPAA and GDPR

Private deployment

  • Your AWS, Azure or GCP tenancy
  • Full data isolation per customer
  • Customer-managed encryption keys

Identity & personal memory

  • SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning
  • Memory: you and authorized people only
  • Every access traced, instant revocation

Zero public training. Personal memory, decision models and graphs stay your IP — in your own cloud tenancy.

Hot

Wherever one expert’s call is the product — and the bottleneck.

Appendix · Methodology

Research-backed foundations.

Critical Decision Method

Developed by Gary Klein for high-stakes fields — firefighting, critical care, aviation. Captures the cues, trade-offs and risk thresholds behind real critical incidents, not hypothetical questionnaires.

CoALA cognitive architecture

Grounds the Double in structured working memory, long-term episodic recall and policy-bound action — so authority can’t drift (Sumers et al., 2023).

Generative agents

Persistent memory, retrieval and reflection keep a simulated person coherent over time — the basis for Doubles that remember what their host has seen (Park et al., 2023).

Cognitive Task Analysis

Structured interviews and observation that surface the tacit knowledge experts can’t easily put into words — the mental models, cues and strategies behind their calls (Crandall, Klein & Hoffman, 2006).

The bottom line

Human judgment,
turned into software.

Digital Double captures how a real person decides, proves that model in simulation, then works in coordination with other people’s Doubles.
