FAQ's
What is Fluxive?
Fluxive is a specialized organizational design and strategy firm that enables enterprises to achieve Intelligent Execution in the era of Artificial Intelligence. We don't build standard AI models; instead, we focus on designing the organizational and technical architecture necessary to leverage AI systems as strategic assets. Our work centers around two core disciplines: Influence Architecture and Machineforce Solutions.
What is "Influence Architecture"?
Influence Architecture (IA) is the strategic design framework, developed by Sean W Smith, that ensures an organization's intelligence (data and AI outputs) is translated directly into actionable, positive outcomes at the Point of Influence.
It answers the question: "How do we get the right insight to the right person or machine at the right time to drive immediate action?"
IA helps leaders move beyond passive reporting (descriptive analytics) to prescriptive influence, ensuring that every system is built to maximize the impact of its intelligence on organizational goals.

What is a "Machineforce" ?
A Machineforce is Sean W Smith's term for the collective, integrated network of an organization's intelligent systems and AI agents. Machineforce Solutions involve structuring this network to act as a seamless, high-performance complement to the human workforce.
This includes defining, developing, and integrating the roles of AI Archetypes (like the AI Strategist or AI Oracle) within the organization.
Machineforce Solutions include the workflows, governance rules, and feedback loops—like the Infinite Loop of Adaptation—that ensure human teams and AI agents collaborate effectively and trust one another.
