The work model
| Concept | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Company | Your workspace in Tycoon | Your SaaS business |
| Task | One durable unit of delegated work that stays accountable until its current success criteria are met, you end it, or an inability to proceed is recorded | Reach $10K MRR by Q3; launch a campaign that meets its acceptance bar |
| Child Task | A numbered, bounded contribution Astra coordinates under the parent Task | Research, writing, and publishing contributions to one campaign |
| Routine | The cadence and recipe that supports the same Task | Check pipeline weekly and act when it is below the Task's target |
| Needs you | A live question or approval request asking one named person for a concrete action | Approve a public launch or connect the required account |
FAQ
Q: Can one company have multiple Tasks?
A: Yes. Use separate root Tasks for genuinely independent outcomes. Astra keeps related execution inside one parent through numbered child contributions.
Q: How is recurring work different from a one-time Task?
A: The Task still owns the outcome. A supporting Routine owns when to check or act, and each useful run returns evidence or a child contribution to that Task.
