We start with the workflow, not the agent. The first pass is always a boring systems map: inputs, decisions, failure points, and which actions have real business consequences.
Once the flow is legible, the orchestration layer can stay narrow. One agent classifies, another drafts, another updates the system of record. Confidence thresholds decide when a human sees it.
The real product is not the agent graph. It is the control surface around it: logs, retries, visibility, and the ability to tell exactly why a decision happened.
