01 · Mandate
Define the destination and the boundary.
A Mandate combines the outcome, success criteria, deadline, Circle, authority, and escalation rules. Aro knows both what it owns and where its ownership ends.
MClose the Acme renewal by Friday.
Keep the 12-month term. Offer up to 8%. Ask before legal or delivery commitments.
02 · Context
Carry the right memory—not everything.
Circles give Aro purposeful context boundaries. The Acme Mandate can use the renewal thread, CRM record, pricing policy, and named stakeholders without wandering into unrelated company or personal information.
03 · Presence
Show up at the right level.
Private means only you see Aro. Supporting keeps it behind the scenes. Participating lets it contribute. Representing allows bounded action in your place. Coordinating lets it manage a multi-party flow.

04 · Record
Leave the work more organized than you found it.
Aro connects each action to its source, authority, owner, and outcome. The result is a working record—not a transcript graveyard.
