// what this is

A program for ops leaders who have outgrown firefighting. You know how to manage a team. You know how to run a process. What you don't yet have is a mental model for designing operations that scale without constant human intervention.

This program teaches you how to think about your operation as a system of domains, each with clear ownership and defined interfaces. The result is an ops function that scales with the business — not with headcount. the 'with AI' in this program's title is not about bolting AI onto existing workflows. it's about designing your operation clearly enough that AI decisions become obvious. without that foundation, AI just automates the firefighting.

// what you'll learn

design the operation.
stop managing the symptoms.

01
domain mapping
Map your operation into domains — where ownership lives, where handoffs happen, where friction hides.
02
process design
Design processes that don't require a human in the loop for every decision.
03
AI integration
Once your domains are clear, identify exactly where AI creates leverage — and where adding it to a broken process just makes the mess faster.
04
operational visibility
Build metrics that tell you what's happening in each domain, not just at the top level.
05
scaling for growth
Design operations that can double in volume without doubling in complexity.
06
the codex OS
See how your operational decisions connect to what product, tech, and growth are building.

"I've designed operations that had to scale 10x inside 18 months. The ones that survived weren't the ones with the most headcount — they were the ones with the clearest domain boundaries."

Marino has designed and rebuilt operations inside scaling LatAm startups. he is currently installing domain-driven operational thinking inside Vana Pay, a BNPL fintech in Guatemala. he has seen what breaks and when, and at exactly what scale it breaks.
