How this work runs

Every engagement follows the same four-step discipline, whatever the stack.

01

Map

Map the workflow

Find where a human is doing repetitive judgment-plus-lookup work (reading, scoring, triaging, reconciling), not just “where could we add AI.”

02

Bound

Draw the agent boundary

Decide, line by line, what the agent decides and where a deterministic rule, a schema validator, or a human sign-off takes over, designed before a single prompt is written.

03

Instrument

Instrument cost & audit

Every agent ships with model routing, prompt caching, and token tracking from day one, plus a log of every decision it made and why.

04

Govern

Ship with a kill switch

Human override, consent/veto controls, and hard rule-based stops on any high-stakes decision. The agent earns autonomy incrementally, never by default.
