contact · three doors · pick the one calibrated to you
three doors. one Registrar.
most institutions hide their address. we publish three. each door is calibrated to a different kind of arrival. read first. knock second.
Most contact pages collapse three very different conversations into one form. The operator looking for a personal read gets routed to the same inbox as the regulator looking for an adoption letter. The press inquiry gets the same auto-reply as the sales pitch. We refuse the collapse. Each kind of arrival deserves a calibrated door.
door one — the diagnostic.
For most operators reading this page, the diagnostic is the right first door. Eight minutes. Six pillars. A personal read returned as a one-page memo addressed to you and signed by the council voice. It answers most of the questions an operator would otherwise ask on a fifteen-minute call, in writing, on record. If after the diagnostic you still want a call, the memo is what we will both have read going into it.
door two — the council intro.
Fifteen minutes, on calendar, with the founding chair. Reserved for partnership conversations (paired institutions, governance adoption, council expansion candidates), press inquiries on the standard or the launch, and operator conversations where the diagnostic has already returned a memo and the next step is to scope a initiation cohort or mastermind seat. Not the door for support questions. Not the door for "is this for me" — the diagnostic is that door, by design.
door three — the registrar line.
Plain-text email. hello@agenticu.org. The catch-all for everything that is not a diagnostic and not a council intro: adoption questions from organisations institutionalising the standard, audit and diligence requests from regulators or auditors referencing specific receipts, operator support inside the initiation, mastermind member logistics, and council referrals. We read everything; we reply to most within forty-eight hours on weekdays.
A registrar is the named human who holds the institution's correspondence. We publish the registrar line because we hold ourselves to the cadence on the other side of it.
what we will not do.
four things this institution does not do, on principle.
- we do not run a sales pipeline — no CRM cadence, no drip sequence, no "following up because I noticed you hadn't replied." if you wanted to talk, you would. if you don't yet, the diagnostic is open whenever you want it.
- we do not auto-respond — the first reply to your email is from a named human reading it. it may take 48 hours. it will not be a templated acknowledgement. we believe an auto-response on the registrar line would be a small betrayal.
- we do not gatekeep the standard — every cross-walk, every pillar, every doctrinal artefact is published on this site and free to adopt. you do not need to contact us to use the standard. you only need to contact us if you want the formats — the initiation, the mastermind, the council intro.
- we do not pretend to be everywhere — we are not on every social platform. we do not run a discord. we do not host an ad-hoc "office hours" on a calendar link. the formats are the formats. the three doors above are the doors.
where else to find us.
The founder publishes a long-form dispatch weekly. The institution's receipts wall is updated as cohort one signs artefacts. The council page names the seated councillors and their cadence. The standard itself is the canonical anchor document, amended by the council quarterly. Outside the site, the founder occasionally appears on operator-oriented podcasts; link in the about page. That is the public surface, deliberately small.
if you are still unsure which door, take the diagnostic.
The diagnostic is calibrated to return you, in eight minutes and one page, the answer to the question most operators are trying to ask when they reach for a contact form. Try it first. The other doors are still open after.
