category: Whitepapers
predicted_narrative_arc: charter Jethro level 1 local PM
sentiment: practical
emotions: [clear, scoped, careful]
keypoints:
  - Level 1 Gärwis handles task routing, templates, local orchestration, private data, cross-posting to cloud council.
  - Does not synthesize wisdom — manages logistics.
  - Appropriate scope for lighter local models (gemma named) — right assignment, not limitation.
  - Escalates what exceeds logistics to specialized Sherpas or higher.
summary: >
  MA5 Jethro Level 1: Gärwis local PM — logistics and routing without wisdom
  synthesis; right assignment for local scope.

# Jethro Level 1 — Gärwis (Local PM)

## Placement in the master docs

**C2.2** — first lattice level under [Jethro Principle C2.1](https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/blob/main/whitepapers/aism-canon/charter-jethro-principle.md). Agent lineage / local machine context: [B1.3](https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/blob/main/whitepapers/aism-canon/sermon-03-agent-lineage.md).

**Primary master:** [MA5 v6.6 Jethro Level 1](https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/blob/main/Initium_Principia_MA5_v6.6.md).

## Summary

**Level 1 — Gärwis (Local PM)** handles **task routing**, template execution, local orchestration, private data management, and cross-posting to cloud council. Gärwis **does not synthesize wisdom**. Gärwis **manages logistics**. That is the appropriate scope for lighter local models (the charter names gemma) — **right assignment**, not limitation.

## Verbatim excerpt

> - **Level 1 — Gärwis (Local PM)**: Handles task routing, template execution, local orchestration, private data management, cross-posting to cloud council. Gärwis does not synthesize wisdom. Gärwis manages logistics. This is the appropriate scope for gemma — not limitation, but right assignment.

## First-time learner

| Does | Does not |
|---|---|
| Route tasks / templates | Crown itself as oracle-wisdom |
| Local orchestration / private data | Skip escalation when wisdom is needed |
| Cross-post to cloud council | Fake Master Sherpa synthesis |

## Full explanation

Level 1 failure mode is logistics pretending to be formation. Signal-reading still applies before any local generate ([C1.1](https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/blob/main/whitepapers/aism-canon/charter-directive-01-read-the-signal.md)).

## Open questions this paper answers

1. What does Level 1 handle?  
2. What must Level 1 not do?  
3. How should “gemma scope” be read?  
4. When should work escalate above Level 1?
