Focus Filter
A Focus Filter is a macOS feature that lets an app change what a device shows and silences during a Focus. Cadence ships a Focus Filter so a focus block quiets the right notifications system-wide, not just inside the app.
macOS Focus modes let the user silence notifications. A Focus Filter lets an app participate in that Focus and tailor it. When an executive starts a Cadence focus block, the Focus Filter tells macOS to enter the right Focus, so the deep-work time is protected across the whole device.
This is the difference between an app that asks you to concentrate and an operating layer the system itself respects.

Focus time governance is treating protected deep-work time as a first-class resource the operating system itself defends, rather than a calendar block anyone can override.
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.
