How a unit moves: the conductor, the five desks, the agents, and the people
Flow of work
How work actually moves through Marketing
Work enters on the left. Marketing Chief of Staff routes it to one of five desks. A named agent does the work. It leaves as cleared, as evidence posted, or as a hold for a person. Every packet you see below is weighted by the real distribution of 166 live units.

The five desks
What Marketing Chief of Staff is actually conducting
Each desk is a layer of the operating model, not a team. The conductor decides which desk owns a unit, then which agent on that desk picks it up.
Takes a position
Strategy
Agents that take positions, argue them, and get held to the outcome.
Receives
A question the function has to answer with money or people behind it.
Emits
A written position with assumptions, alternatives priced, and break conditions.

What this view is and is not
Every count, agent, station, gate and unit on this page is read from the live records for Marketing. The moving packets in the diagram are a visual weighting of that same distribution, not a live message bus: they show where volume goes, not individual transactions in real time. The human lanes are the routing rule, not a staffing model. Chief Marketing Officer remains accountable for this function whatever the conductor clears.
