What happens to your org when the agents arrive?

This is Meridian: a realistic 35-person SaaS product and engineering organisation.<br>Embed coding agents in squads, replace tier-1 support, flatten a management layer, merge teams —<br>and watch cost, capacity, and coordination change live. Then share your scenario as a link, or export it as OrgSpec.

Built on a simplified version of the model Orgonaut uses. Every assumption is visible and editable below.

Plays<br>One-click strategy moves. Apply, inspect the delta, keep editing.

Assumptions<br>Every number in this model is inspectable and yours to change.

Scenario delta<br>Every change versus the Live baseline, the way Orgonaut compares scenarios.

The share link encodes your whole scenario — nothing is stored on our side.

How the model works Opinionated on purpose, honest about limits

This simulator is not a forecast. It is a structural argument: adding AI agents to an organisation<br>changes cost and capacity, but supervision, team size, and management span decide whether that<br>capacity is real. The rules below are simplifications — deliberately visible ones, so you can<br>challenge them rather than trust a black box.

When you want the same discipline against your real organisation — real people, real salaries,<br>real teams, with history, approvals, and audit — that is what Orgonaut does.

Agents are not free capacity<br>Each senior or lead can effectively supervise a limited number of agents. Agents beyond supervision capacity contribute at 40% effectiveness. Add agents without seniors and the model tells you.

Big teams pay a coordination tax<br>Every member beyond five discounts team capacity by a configurable percentage. Merging squads is cheaper on paper — the model shows what it costs in throughput.

Every assumption is a slider<br>Agent cost, agent throughput, supervision ratios, and the coordination tax are all editable. Disagree with a number? Change it and watch the whole scenario recompute.

Deltas, not vibes<br>Every edit is compared against the Live baseline: cost, capacity, headcount, and cost per delivery point. The change log reads like a reorg proposal because that is what it is.

Take it further From a shared toy to a decision you can defend<br>The simulator makes the argument tangible. The real version of this conversation happens against your own organisation.

For CTOs and VPs of Engineering<br>Share a scenario link with your leadership team instead of a hand-drawn diagram. Then model the real thing: import your org, clone it into a scenario, and compare deltas with real numbers.

For AI consultants<br>Run this live in workshops. Adjust the assumptions with the client in the room, agree on the numbers, and use the exported OrgSpec document as the starting point for a real engagement.

For the sceptics<br>Crank the agent count with no seniors, or merge everything into one mega-team. The model pushes back — because structure still matters in the agentic age. That is the whole point.
