## 2. Organizational model

At the current stage, the work organization looks as follows:

- the product and architecture core is led by the founder;
- specialized tasks are assigned to external contractors;
- experts are engaged as needed: lawyers, mentors, integrators, technical specialists;
- the project’s development model is linked to on-chain voting, while pilot and sandbox roles are described separately.

## 3. Contractors and experts

Contractors and external specialists do not form a permanent internal staff, but they are an important part of the project’s operating model.

They may perform:

- OS development and enhancement;
- DLE configuration for participant needs;
- technical support;
- training and accompaniment;
- legal, methodological, and industry expertise.

Details on the contractor participation model: [for-contractors.md](for-contractors.md).

## 4. AI as a work tool

AI models and AI agents are used in development, support, and documentation. They are not team members in a legal or organizational sense; they are work tools.

In the DLE contour, AI is used for:

- analysis and prototyping;
- preparing and structuring documentation;
- configuring specialized agents for business processes;
- automating support and internal tasks.
