Five roles. Start with the condition.

Five institutions answer five different conditions. Each has its own entry point, intended output, and boundary. Cross-links route the problem; they do not bundle the institutions or assert a legal relationship.

Public routing doctrine

Start with the condition.

Portfolio routing / five roles

  1. Frame

    Big Idea Think Tank

    Problem-solving institution and portfolio umbrella

    Enter when
    The condition does not yet support a well-formed mandate.
    Intended output
    Problem frame, thesis, research agenda, or routing decision.
    Boundary
    Not the universal delivery company.
  2. Steward

    SongzCorp

    Management and stewardship

    Enter when
    Shared dependencies require continuing governance and coordination.
    Intended output
    Decision rights, operating cadence, allocation logic, escalation path, and stewardship model.
    Boundary
    Not an external consulting offer.
  3. Forge

    Kingmakers Consulting Group

    Kingmaking operating consultancy

    Enter when
    A consequential mandate exists, but the responsible institution cannot yet execute it with full authority.
    Intended output
    Kingmaking brief, bounded intervention, operating advantage, and transfer.
    Boundary
    Not political influence, personal image-making, an incubator, or a general AI shop.
  4. Prove

    Halceon

    Technology incubation studio

    Enter when
    A technology thesis remains unproven and stopping is valid.
    Intended output
    Experiment, prototype, evidence dossier, and advance, reshape, or stop decision.
    Boundary
    Does not imply funding, cohort admission, or scaled production.
  5. Integrate

    sgz.ai

    Applied AI systems specialist

    Enter when
    A defined workflow or decision has a plausible AI opportunity.
    Intended output
    Workflow design, evaluation, integration, operating controls, and monitoring.
    Boundary
    Not general strategy or speculative incubation.

Routing rules

  1. Big Idea Think Tank frames questions that do not yet support a mandate. A routing decision may be the end of the work.

  2. SongzCorp holds continuing portfolio governance. It is never a stage in an external sales funnel.

  3. Kingmakers Consulting Group enters when a chosen mandate is blocked in execution and another portfolio institution has a specific, bounded role.

  4. Halceon tests uncertainty. Advance, reshape, and stop are all valid decisions.

  5. sgz.ai begins with a defined workflow or decision. No preceding portfolio stage is required.

  6. A cross-link explains fit. It does not bundle the institutions.

When the condition spans the portfolio, begin with the management mandate.
