EA delegation
EA delegation is the structured handoff between an executive and their executive assistant. In Cadence the EA proposes the plan and the executive approves it, so delegation is explicit and auditable rather than managed by email and memory.
An executive assistant runs much of an executive's day, but in most tools that work is invisible: it lives in email threads, side chats and the EA's memory. EA delegation in Cadence gives the handoff a structure. The EA builds and proposes the plan on the web. The executive approves it on the Mac. Every change is recorded.
One EA can coordinate several executives from a single workspace, with each principal's plan, preferences and strategic context kept separate.

An executive operating layer is the software layer that runs an executive's day. It reads the systems they already use, decides what matters, and surfaces the right work at the right moment, across the executive's own device and their EA's workspace.
