Why This Result

  • A smaller team is usually better served by one narrow workflow than a broad platform bet.

Delivery Motion

Scoped pilot this quarter

Staffing Pattern

Small delivery pod with a business owner

Main Risk

Scope creep

Target Style

Start with one focused tool-using assistant or workflow agent, not a multi-agent system.

Start with one focused tool-using assistant or workflow agent, not a multi-agent system.

  1. 1Choose one high-friction task with a known owner.
  2. 2Add retrieval or memory only if the first version proves it needs them.
  3. 3Instrument failures before expanding the scope.

Assumptions Behind This Recommendation

  • The first version needs to stay narrow enough for a small team to support.
  • The team can absorb some engineering complexity if the scope stays disciplined.

Watch Outs

  • The biggest risk is widening scope before the first workflow is stable.
  • Extra budget can still be wasted if the workflow is not clearly bounded.
