I built CoS OS to bring strategy, project delivery, commercial pipeline management and investor relations into one AI-enabled operating workspace. Rather than creating another dashboard, I wanted to connect the information executives rely on with the decisions and actions that follow.

The CoS OS Investor Relations Desk for a fictional company raising an £8m Series A: indicative interest, soft commitments, legally committed and funds received shown separately, a capital ladder against the target, and investor conversion by stage.
The Investor Relations Desk. Indicative interest is never shown as committed capital. Fictional demo company.

01The challenge

Leadership information is often scattered across presentations, spreadsheets, project trackers and inboxes.

A Chief of Staff can spend a disproportionate amount of time assembling information, reconciling priorities and chasing updates rather than helping leadership make decisions and execute.

02My contribution

  1. 01Defined the product architecture and nine operating desks.
  2. 02Designed an executive command centre covering priorities, projects, decisions, risks and commercial performance.
  3. 03Developed connected workflows for project management, commercial pipeline visibility and investor relations.
  4. 04Built the working product using Claude Code, Next.js, Supabase and the Claude API.
  5. 05Designed an AI workflow that distinguishes facts, assumptions and recommendations and routes proposed changes through human approval.
  6. 06Built role-based access controls and an auditable approach to decision-making and task completion.

05What it taught me

“Building with AI has made me think differently about business operations. The real opportunity isn’t replacing judgement. It’s removing the friction around information, coordination and follow-through so people can spend more time making decisions and creating value.”
