Satie is the strategic alignment engine for agentic organizational transformation — the reasoning layer that sits on top of the workforce intelligence stack and produces the executable intelligence enterprises need to design how humans and AI will work together. It replaces the expensive, slow, opinion-driven process of engagement surveys and consultant-led focus groups with conversational AI research at scale, structured to feed directly into restructuring, agentic adoption, and operating-model redesign decisions.
The product surfaces in four architectural layers: (1) Strategic Intent Ingestion — admin pastes the CHRO memo, restructure plan, or operating-model proposal; the model extracts structured strategic intent. (2) Organizational Context Layer — current roles, JDs, TechWolf skill data, reporting structure. (3) Conversational Intelligence — a Sonnet 4.6 Interviewer agent conducts adaptive, structured-but-warm interviews with SMEs simultaneously across the organization, treating the SME as the expert and surfacing both Strategic Alignment and Core KSAO objectives. (4) Reasoning Output — synthesized findings, evidence-mapped recommendations, and exec-ready briefings.
Differentiator vs incumbents: inference tools observe activity, surveys collect sentiment, neither reasons across strategy and capability. Satie is the missing reasoning engine for the moment every large enterprise has committed to agentic transformation without the analytical substrate to execute it. Working v5 prototype is a ~5,500-line JSX Claude Artifact demonstrating all four layers end-to-end, including a three-tier model strategy: Sonnet 4.6 for the Interviewer agent, with specialized models for extraction and synthesis tasks selected by fitness-to-job rather than single-model default.
B2B with B2B2C reciprocity dynamics. Primary buyers: 1,000–25,000+ employee enterprises with active transformation agendas — restructures, post-merger integration, operating-model redesign. Blended entry-market growth: 18–24% CAGR (Conversational AI 23.7%, AI in HR ~22%, Workforce Analytics 14.5%, Cloud HR Platforms 15.7%) — Satie sits at the productive intersection of all four.
