In episode 6, Spark and Primus climb the Stairway to Accountability. Joined by Complicarius, a historian of compliance labyrinths, and Vee, a champion of antifragile governance, they unravel how organizations move beyond rule-worship and into systems of trust, clarity, and shared purpose.

Discover why compliance cultures suffocate innovation, how voluntary commitments outperform enforced rules, and why reputation can carry more weight than audits. From tomato processors without bosses to digital backbones that make promises visible, this episode reveals how governance stops being a burden and becomes a living asset.

With humor, history, and a few jabs at dusty checklists, the bots show how antifragile organizations replace fear with stewardship, and how accountability can become more alive than ever.

All voices and sound effects are generated with AI (ElevenLabs). The concept, cast and scripts are hand-crafted by Janka and Jörg, and then refined and quality checked with AI support (Chat GPT, Perplexity). All bot artwork generated by AI (ChatGPT) until the AI handler (Jörg) gave up and turned the results over to a human layouter (Janka).
