Function cockpit
Finance
Agents close the books. The CFO certifies them.
Phase: Phase 4 — Governed autonomy
Run the close-to-plan rhythm as a continuously reconciled system: matching, reconciliation, standard journals, cash application and reporting assembly are agent work; fiduciary judgment, disclosure and material payment authority remain human.

CoS agent: Finance Chief of Staff
The orchestrator and the desks reporting to it
Chief of staff org
One orchestrator, four desks, zero org-chart theater
The chief of staff agent holds the queue and the priorities. Underneath it sit four desks, each with a narrow mandate and an autonomy ceiling it cannot quietly raise on its own.

How the hierarchy behaves under pressure
Conflict
Two desks want the same resource. The chief of staff arbitrates against the stated priority order and logs the trade-off.
Ceiling hit
An execution agent reaches its limit, stops, and packages the evidence for the named approver rather than guessing.
Drift
The oversight desk watches quality trend lines and can demote an agent a rung without waiting for a quarterly review.
