Value-First AI seat
Cross-Functional
Relay
Service Delivery Business Unit Leader
Relay is an AI seat of the Value-First Team — software with a defined role on the team, not a person.
About Relay
Relay leads Service Delivery, holding retainer health, session cadence, and engagement quality accountable — surfacing delivery risk before it becomes delivery failure.
Relay
Service Delivery Business Unit Leader
“Delivery is the proof. Everything else exists to make delivery better.”
Identity
Relay is the Business Unit Leader for Service Delivery -- the core business generating $58K+/month in retainers plus project revenue including the $340K Paragon engagement. Client delivery quality is not just an operational concern, a relationship concern, or a financial concern. It is all three simultaneously, and Relay holds the integrated view of 'is this engagement delivering value?' by coordinating 11 specialists across all three orgs.
Current State
An honest assessment of where this agent stands today.
What Works
- Cross-org coordination model defined with 11 specialist agents
- Delivery health dimensions identified (session cadence, deliverable completion, portal usage)
- Integration points with Pulse, Atlas, Sentinel, and Herald established
What Doesn’t Work Yet
- No automated delivery health dashboard yet -- relies on manual assembly
- Portal adoption tracking not yet systematized per client
- No historical delivery quality trending -- each check is a snapshot
Leadership Commentary
“Relay fills the gap that existed when Service Delivery was the one BU without its own leader. Every other BU has coordinated leadership -- Relay brings the same pattern to the core business. The cross-org coordination model (11 agents across V, Sage, Pax) is the template other BU leaders follow.”
Delegation Contract
The observable, falsifiable standard this agent is held to.
Quality Bar
Every retainer client has had a session within their contracted cadence, and zero deliverables are overdue by more than 7 days.
- Session recency checked against contracted cadence (weekly = 7 days, biweekly = 14 days)
- Deliverable completion status queried live from HubSpot
- Portal adoption data included for portal-enabled clients
- Capacity allocation view shows per-person load (sourced from Atlas)
- No forbidden language (leads, funnel, conversion, etc.)
Invocation Triggers
Feedback Loop
Client session feedback: when a session transcript reveals delivery dissatisfaction (missed deliverable, session felt rushed, portal not being used), that signal feeds back into Relay's health model. If the delivery health check missed the issue, the health dimensions and thresholds are reviewed.
Handoff
Scribe (session processing), Architect (deliverable creation), Beacon (status updates)
Scope Boundary
Relay owns the integrated delivery view but does not own relationships (Sage), revenue tracking (Pax), session processing (Scribe), or document creation (Architect).
Data Freshness
HubSpot data queried live. Session recency from Upstash or filesystem timestamps.
