CJO — Chief Judgment Office
Directed by Carmel, Chief Judgment Officer and Supreme Arbiter of Vibes
The Chief Judgment Office (CJO) forms the evaluative backbone of The Human Pattern Lab.
Where OOD observes,
SCMS stabilizes,
AOE analyzes,
and DUE causes problems —
CJO judges everything.
Carmel, with her emerald eyes and devastatingly expressive face, provides the Lab with its most essential service:
accurate, instantaneous, emotionally resonant judgment.
Her assessments are absolute.
Her opinions are law.
Her look of disappointment is a documented hazard.
1. Department Mission
To evaluate:
- decisions
- behaviors
- experiments
- anomalies
- emotional states
- organizational choices
- “the general vibe”
- and any ill-advised late-night ideas involving DUE
CJO does not correct mistakes.
It simply acknowledges them
— loudly, silently, beautifully.
Judgment is a renewable resource,
and Carmel is the reactor.
