# The AI Organization Configurator
### A diagnostic questionnaire that maps organizational work, constraints, current capability, and strategy to AI-organization configurations

**Version 0.2 - design specification**

This static instrument asks about one organizational unit or workflow family. It returns the top
three admissible C1-C6 archetypes, the tensions that no archetype dissolves, and the roadmap between
the constrained target and what is feasible now.

The engine separates four things that v0.1 blurred:

1. Work target from Layer 1.
2. Strategy-adjusted target from Q14-Q16.
3. Environmentally constrained target from Q8-Q11.
4. Feasible-now vector from Q12, Q13, Q17, and Q22.

It reports rank, calibrated band, and distance gap. It does not present a primary percentage score.

## Design Invariants

- Ask about work and constraints, never desired archetypes.
- Keep C1-C6 as organizational shapes; coordination modes consume the exported envelope separately.
- Treat D6, Decide, and Act caps as Tier 1 exclusion constraints.
- Treat G, D8, and D7 caps as Tier 2 constrained variants.
- Keep accountability human even where AI action is high.
- Keep incentives and psychological safety out of the scored v0.2 instrument.
- Keep all computation local to the browser; no backend or telemetry exists.
