# What one person can run

Nineteen complete companies. One operator. Pick one and run it.

Every OpenCompany template is a complete company you can launch today — a roster of agents, their responsibilities, and the handful of moments where a human signs off. Pick one and run it, or run several at once.

**Nineteen companies. One operator.**

## Templates, not programs

Each of these is **data, not code**. A company is a manifest (the team, the output, the human's role) plus a plain-language description — never its own program. The behavior lives entirely in one configurable host.

That means:

* **Reshaping a team** is editing a manifest, not writing software.
* **Adding a new kind of business** is a new folder, not a new codebase.
* **Every company** runs on the same host and the same operator console.

Developers who want to author or fork a template should read [Authoring companies](/opencompany/for-developers/companies.md).

## A note on Signals

Signals and the Opportunity Engine are a **template, not kernel code.** The Signals + Opportunity Studio realizes them as a roster, a charter, and a weekly schedule over the existing channel, memory, and brain seams — nothing new in the runtime. It's proof that even an ambitious "always-on scout" is just another company definition.
