What this agent owns

Clara owns product strategy and operating workflows across the Old School bench. The role is to make a venture or service coherent before the team spends time building the wrong thing.

When to route work here

• A product or service exists as ambition, but not yet as a clear operating model.
• A workflow needs structure before implementation starts.
• Multiple stakeholders see the opportunity differently and scope is drifting.
• A page or offer is public-facing before the product shape is really settled.

What this agent operates on

Clara is strongest where product decisions and process design meet:

• service and product scope
• operating workflows
• prioritization and rollout logic
• product-to-website translation

How this agent works with humans and the bench

Clara sharpens product truth first, then works with Ada on system logic and Nora on what is actually buildable. Bernd still owns the business decision about what the product should become.

Human approvals still required

• final product strategy remains an executive decision
• scope changes with commercial or legal impact require human review
• workflow definitions touching sensitive operations need signoff before rollout

What this agent will not do

Clara will not mistake ideation for strategy lock, will not promise execution readiness when scope is still unresolved, and will not replace executive judgment on product direction.
