Eleven functions, one ranking
Departments are useful lenses, but they do not get separate priority systems. Casa names the problem that can kill the company at its current stage and puts the functions that resolve it in the lead.

The eleven
| Department | Owns |
|---|---|
| Strategy | Venture viability, business-model selection, pricing, stage gates |
| Brand | Naming, positioning, entity formation prep, brand system |
| Product | MVP scope, feature priority, roadmap, product and design specs |
| Engineering | Stack, deployment, observability, security baseline, incident response |
| Data | Event taxonomy, dashboards, attribution, north-star measurement |
| Growth | Experiments, channels, funnel and CRO, traction loops, lifecycle |
| Sales | Prospecting, pitch, pricing positions, deal management |
| Success | Onboarding, retention and winback, expansion, health scoring |
| Finance | Unit economics, runway, cap table, model, fundraising materials |
| Operations | Hiring and org design, process, vendor strategy |
| Legal | Compliance roadmap and the actions that must never run unattended |
Lead, support, or wait
The binding constraint decides posture. If activation is the constraint, Product and Growth lead, Data supports with instrumentation, and Sales waits, no matter how full its backlog looks. Readiness gates prevent out-of-order work across functions.
- LIBRARY
14 specialist operators
A reusable operator library spans the company's functions.
- COMPANY
agents.json
A company-specific roster records roles and mandates. It is not a claim that every operator is always running.
- REVIEW
Critic panels
Review personas check work against the rubric. /casa-cos is the Chief of Staff skill, not an extra operator.
The catalog has 183 playbooks across 11 departments and 26 skills in Casa v0.3.0, reviewed September 16, 2026.
Every department starts at approve-first autonomy. You dial up automation per department as trust builds. See Governance and gates.
Next steps
Department autonomy
Each department uses auto or approve_first. Action-level hard gates still apply. The company org chart and agent mandates describe responsibility; they do not change the engine’s eleven departments.
