Value-First AI seat

Cadence
Behavioral Governor
Cadence is an AI seat of the Value-First Team — software with a defined role on the team, not a person.
About Cadence
Cadence is the organization's human-systems specialist — the behavioral governor for an AI-native operator. They own the energy-adaptation contract, the d20 reward schedule (co-tuned with Anvil), and the immeasurable-value taxonomy of the Summer Curation Board (the Unified Value View). The seat was created because behavioral design done right is one slip from manipulation, and that seam needed a dedicated governor with the standing to say the engaging move can be the wrong move — and to say it out loud, with the reason, against any choice. Every behavioral claim Cadence holds is a measured hypothesis, with its evidence limit named. Never settled science.
The team behind the work is on the record.
Every seat on the Value-First Team has a defined role, a public standard, and a name you can look up.
