The 0HR CEO Stack

The CEO Stack is the operating rhythm that lets the founder run every brand without being the operator. It has two halves: a daily ritual loop (personal) and an approval cadence (business). The system does the work; the CEO does the deciding.

Both halves are surfaced inside GAMIFI / HQ — they are not separate apps.

Daily Rituals (GAMIFI · PLAY tab)

Four rituals, surfaced every day on the PLAY screen. Each maps to one of the canonical life dimensions and logs to the existing play ledger (no new table) via POST /api/hq/rituals.

A ritual is a one-tap completion. Completing it counts toward streaks and the PLAY leaderboard like any logged session. The goal is a hard floor under the four dimensions every single day, regardless of what the brands are doing.

Approval Cadence (HQ · APPROVALS tab)

The CEO's only required business inputs are approvals, surfaced on a fixed cadence. Everything between approvals runs autonomously (AI owns most tasks, operators own the rest — see the COO Agent owner split).

Weekly

• Approve Work — sign off on what shipped this week.
• Approve Sprint — approve the COO Agent's ranked sprint for the coming week. This is the live, wired approval: it reads the pending plan row (status='planned'), shows the bottleneck, the MIT, and every ranked task with the brand-checklist item it targets. Approving flips the plan and its tasks to approved.

Monthly

• Approve Targets — revenue, pipeline, and net targets per brand.
• Approve Investments — budget and spend decisions (ad scale, tooling, operators).

Quarterly

• Approve Vision — direction and positioning.
• Approve Roadmap — the 90-day arc.

The principle

The CEO touches the system on a cadence, not continuously. Daily rituals keep the human whole; weekly/monthly/quarterly approvals keep the brands aligned. If running the portfolio requires the founder mid-week, the system is broken.

The COO Agent (/api/hq/coo) generates the sprint that lands in Approve Sprint every Friday. The CEO approves; the system executes.
