Originated by Duena Blomstrom. The structural unit that replaces traditional teams in AI-native organisations. An Execution Pod is a continuous human-and-AI execution loop where work is verified against external reality rather than reported as complete — the operational form of Execution Integrity at the unit level. Pods are deployed via humanagents.io with governance guardrails; AI Adoption Performance (aiadoptionperformance.com) measures their Execution Integrity Score. Introduced in Tech-Led Culture (Kogan Page, 2024, ISBN 9781398610699) with an appendix interview by Gene Kim.
