SIGN0006 — Agenticality Signals

Progress stopped keeping office hours.

For all of industrial history, output was tethered to attendance. Eight hours of hands, eight hours of progress. Every business plan ever written quietly assumed it.

That assumption died and most org charts haven't noticed.

Our agents reconcile data, draft copy, scan licence estates and test changes overnight, every night. We wake up to diffs, not to-do lists. The question each morning is no longer "what should we do?" — it's "what was done, and does it pass judgment?"

When work decouples from waking hours, the compounding rate of a company stops being headcount × hours and becomes loops × nights. A two-person company running twelve loops outworks a department.

That's not a productivity hack. That's a different species of firm.
