Katherine Macri
Cognitive Systems Architect
Founder of Human-Centered Decision Infrastructure
Katherine Macri is the founder of Group Forty Three
and the originator of the field of Human-Centered Decision Infrastructure.
Her work addresses a structural risk emerging in the AI-accelerated economy:
As automation expands, human authority quietly erodes.
Rather than building tools that replace thinking,
she designs cognitive operating systems that strengthen it.
Her proprietary framework — HER-OS™ (Human Evaluation & Regulation Operating System) — encodes disciplined reasoning into scalable infrastructure.
This work sits at the intersection of:
• Organizational architecture
• Human cognition
• AI governance
• Decision sovereigntyThrough selective structural engagements, Katherine diagnoses decision bottlenecks and designs licensed cognitive systems that outlast her direct involvement.
She builds infrastructure that compounds.
In a world becoming dependent on machines, her work anchors human sovereignty.
“My work defines a new category: Human-Centered Decision Infrastructure. I architect proprietary cognitive systems that prevent cognitive dependency in AI-integrated organizations. Rather than automating authority, I encode disciplined reasoning into licensed infrastructure that strengthens leadership at scale. As artificial intelligence reshapes commerce, I build the structural systems that ensure human sovereignty remains intact.”
