Design Pattern
Minimum viable company Eidolon
The smallest institutional reflection that changes AI output: what the company does, how it is organised, who decides, what it sells, and what it will not claim.
What it holds
A first company Eidolon fits in an afternoon of writing and still changes results. What the organisation actually does in plain words. Its units and what each one owns. Its products and services as sold, not as described in marketing. Its customers by type. Its decision rights. Its terminology, including the words it uses differently from the rest of its industry. Its current priorities and its hard constraints.
Then the parts most teams skip: the unresolved questions, the places where the strategy and the observed behaviour differ, and the claims the company is not willing to make without evidence.
How to tell it is working
Claim: recommendation
Give the same task to an engine with and without the file and have somebody who knows the company mark both. If the reader cannot tell which output had the reflection, the reflection is not yet carrying anything specific.
