For-purpose enterprise, encoded for the Age of Intelligence.
Founded in 2015 to give distributed authority a legal home, encode.org now helps individuals and organizations adopt structures and agreements built for intelligent agents working in decentralized systems. The templates are free and open. The counsel is ours.

Start learningOne problem, answered three times
encode.org was formed in 2015 to solve an integration problem: the Holacracy® Constitution had replaced the management hierarchy, but the structures around it had not kept pace. How do you integrate the legal, capital, and labor needs of a distributed-authority organization to match the sophistication of its operating system?
From Holacracy to the Algorithmic OrganizationThe first answer: a whole-system design integrating the Organization, People, and Investor contexts.
The answer, encoded: a Wyoming DAO LLC whose operating agreement wires the constitution into a member-managed entity.
The answer for the Age of Intelligence: humans and intelligent agents filling roles in one governed entity under the PowerShift® Constitution.
Two instruments. Every organization covered.
Ratification Agreement
Layer constitutional governance on top of your existing documents. Works with any entity type: LLC, corporation, cooperative, nonprofit. Keep your structure, start governing with agents this week.
Operating Agreement

Built for the organizations forming now
Authority lives in roles, not people. Humans and intelligent agents fill roles on equal footing, inside enforceable legal structure.
The Solo Profile + Operating Agreement gives one human and their agents a complete governance OS with legal foundation.
The Ratification Agreement overlays constitutional governance onto any entity type without touching your structure.
The Operating Agreement template was derived from an actual algorithmically governed DAO LLC.
Skip the management hierarchy entirely: form a purpose-built entity around roles, circles, and governed agents.
Precedent-grade templates for advising clients on agent participation, authority, and liability.
encode.org is an Algorithmic Organization
This company has one member and one human: Thomas Thomison, the Orchestrator. Everything else: research, drafting, publishing, operations, is carried by intelligent agents filling governed roles under the PowerShift® Constitution.
