Past
Marketers ran an event or a newsletter in bursts and judged it by sign-ups.
DRONICS · MAKE THE MARKET AND YOUR PARTNERS SELL YOU
C: Community
Build a place where practitioners learn from each other, and stay with it for years.
Motion: Community (practitioners, meetups and the academy; the long game) · Owner: your CMO and channel head
Partner types: partners' practitioners are welcome in the community. No partner type is a letter here.
The DRONICS-C agent checks, drafts, maps and records. The Strategist agent checks each draft before you see it, and nothing goes outside the company without a person approving it. See DRONICS-C run on a fictional company.
PAST AND FUTURE
DRONICS-C: the story in two lines
Marketers will work differently with agents. This is what changes for this letter, and what stays with a person.
Present to future
Community becomes a long-term place where practitioners learn from one another and stay. It is led by people, and judged by who returns and what members say.
What the agent does
Drafts agendas, member notes and academy updates marked draft, and records who returned and what members asked for.
What the marketer or CMO decides
Whether to start or continue, who hosts, and what the company commits. Member names and quotes appear only with permission.
Shifts used here: S3 From campaigns to always-on; S8 From one-way outbound to community and partner-led. Read the full framework and sources.
HARNESS
DRONICS-C: the systems it would connect to
Drafts meetup agendas, member notes and academy updates, and records who returned and what members asked for. People host and own the community.
Not built yetA design, with two building blocks started. No live connector, MCP client, sign-in flow or approval queue is built, and no vendor named has approved, certified or partnered with us. The CRM read rules and pipeline story, and the Google Analytics and Search Console read rules and analytics story, run on example data only.
Systems, and how an agent would reach each
- Slack: read channels the client owns; post drafts on approval. Route: MCP. Checked in the vendor’s documents on 19 October 2026. (MCP)
- Discord: read: channels the client owns. Route: API. Checked in the vendor’s documents on 19 October 2026. (API)
- Circle: read: members and posts, read-only authorisation. Route: MCP. Checked in the vendor’s documents on 19 October 2026. (MCP)
- Luma: read: events and guest lists; event drafts by a person. Route: MCP. Checked in the vendor’s documents on 19 October 2026. (MCP)
- HubSpot: read: member records, with permission. Route: MCP. Checked in the vendor’s documents on 19 October 2026. (MCP)
Data in
- Questions and stories members bring to the strategist.
- Attendance and returns from event and community tools.
- Academy paths and FOUND proof assets that can be shared.
Data out
- Community plan: model, audience, rhythm and who is accountable.
- Draft agendas, member notes and academy updates.
- Record of who returned and what members asked for.
Read access is the default. Writes are drafts, notes and tasks only, and a person approves each one. Spend, publishing and messages to outside people are always done by a person. How harnesses work, for all twelve.
