Companies as neighborhoods
A Company is the biggest box in askTheodor — the team, work, and knowledge for one little business, all in one place.
What you’ll learn
- What a Company contains and why you group workers into one.
- How a Company shows up on the Village map.
- When to spin up a second Company instead of stuffing everything into one.
A neighborhood on the map
Everything else — workers, tasks, goals, projects, routines, and a knowledge Library — lives inside a Company. On the Village map each Company reads as a neighborhood, and its workers are the residents who live there. Open one and you see only its things; work and knowledge never leak between Companies unless you choose to share.
You can have as many as you like. A solo consultant might keep one Company per client; a founder might run “Marketing”, “Engineering”, and “Ops” side by side.
What a Company holds
- Identity — a name, a one-line mission (“why we exist”), and an avatar. The mission isn’t decoration: it’s fed to manager workers as background when they hand out work, so delegation stays on-message.
- An optional client framing — set a “for {client}” name and the header re-frames as a client engagement. Handy for freelancers billing several clients from one app.
- An org chart, its own work, and its own knowledge — roles, tasks, goals, projects, routines, and a Library section, all scoped to that Company.
Recap
A Company is a self-contained team — a neighborhood holding its own people, work, and knowledge. Next, learn the house rules that steer every worker inside it.
