01 · Mission context

Mission and enterprise workflows cross people, models, tools, records, and approval boundaries. Agentic automation must therefore be designed as a controlled operating system for a specific workflow, not as an unconstrained chatbot with broad credentials.

Authority design

A useful automation design starts by reconstructing how a real case moves from trigger to disposition. Sources, handoffs, approvals, exceptions, and downstream consequences are mapped before any model or tool is selected. This exposes where deterministic validation is sufficient, where probabilistic assistance is acceptable, and where a named person must retain the decision.

P01

Decision questionWhich actions may run automatically, which require confirmation, and who can stop, reverse, or escalate the workflow?

P02

Decision questionWhich sources and tools are authoritative for each step, and how is least-privilege access enforced and recorded?

P03

Decision questionWhat should retry, queue, degrade, fail closed, require an operator, or roll back when a dependency fails?

P04

Decision questionWhat test set and release evidence must pass before a workflow version is allowed to act in the target environment?

Read the mission context

Actions are then classified by authority rather than convenience. Read-only retrieval, draft preparation, approval-gated writes, and prohibited operations receive different identities, permissions, evidence, and recovery behavior. The resulting workflow is easier to review because the agent cannot silently widen its role when a source, prompt, model, or tool changes.

Human authority. If recommendation, approval, execution, and override rights are not separated, operators cannot tell where automation ends and accountability begins.

Grounded tool use. An agent can produce a fluent answer while reading the wrong source, calling the wrong tool, or acting with more privilege than the task requires.

Failure and recovery. Timeouts, malformed data, unavailable tools, model refusal, duplicated events, and partial writes create operational risk that prompt design alone cannot solve.

Evaluation and change control. Model, prompt, policy, tool, and source changes can alter workflow behaviour even when the user interface looks unchanged.

02 · Delivery system

Inputs, outputs, maturity, and the evidence boundary travel together. Capability is never separated from the condition under which it can be accepted.

Overview first; the work-package contract remains directly below.
  1. W01

    Map the real workflow from trigger to decision and outcome, including operator roles, handoffs, approval points, prohibited actions, and exception paths.

    Output · Workflow model, authority matrix, escalation map, tool permissions, state transitions, and bounded pilot definition.

  2. W02

    Compose specialist agents, deterministic services, retrieval, APIs, and validation steps around explicit contracts rather than one general-purpose prompt.

    Output · Agent topology, prompt and policy versions, tool adapters, context rules, structured outputs, and provenance records.

  3. W03

    Test task quality, authority enforcement, prompt injection resistance, source handling, tool misuse, failure recovery, and operator comprehension with representative cases.

    Output · Evaluation harness, trace set, issue register, mitigations, residual-risk record, and pilot release recommendation.

  4. W04

    Release the bounded workflow with telemetry, version control, approval queues, incident ownership, rollback, user guidance, and an evidence-led review cadence.

    Output · Deployed pilot, dashboards, runbooks, training, release manifest, incident path, rollback procedure, and handover pack.

W01Assessment

Map the real workflow from trigger to decision and outcome, including operator roles, handoffs, approval points, prohibited actions, and exception paths.

Inputs
Process records, operator interviews, policy rules, current tools, sample cases, exception history, and downstream consequences.
Outputs
Workflow model, authority matrix, escalation map, tool permissions, state transitions, and bounded pilot definition.
Boundary
Automation scope is limited to the named workflow and authority model; high-consequence decisions remain with authorised people or systems of record.
W02Engineering

Compose specialist agents, deterministic services, retrieval, APIs, and validation steps around explicit contracts rather than one general-purpose prompt.

Inputs
Approved models, source corpus, API schemas, identity provider, tool contracts, data classifications, and target interaction surfaces.
Outputs
Agent topology, prompt and policy versions, tool adapters, context rules, structured outputs, and provenance records.
Boundary
Third-party model and tool behaviour remains subject to provider terms and technical limits; the engagement does not grant unsupported access to client systems.
W03Prototype

Test task quality, authority enforcement, prompt injection resistance, source handling, tool misuse, failure recovery, and operator comprehension with representative cases.

Inputs
Golden cases, prohibited cases, adversarial inputs, permissions, failure scenarios, policy requirements, and client-defined acceptance thresholds.
Outputs
Evaluation harness, trace set, issue register, mitigations, residual-risk record, and pilot release recommendation.
Boundary
A bounded evaluation reduces known risk but does not prove that a probabilistic model will be correct under every future input or attack.
W04Operations

Release the bounded workflow with telemetry, version control, approval queues, incident ownership, rollback, user guidance, and an evidence-led review cadence.

Inputs
Approved build, target environment, named operators, support ownership, change process, retention policy, and pilot success criteria.
Outputs
Deployed pilot, dashboards, runbooks, training, release manifest, incident path, rollback procedure, and handover pack.
Boundary
Coverage, response expectations, data retention, and production expansion are governed by the agreed operating model rather than implied by the pilot.

03 · System boundary

The operating architecture keeps workflow state, policy decisions, model context, tool calls, and human approvals correlated under one case identity. Representative and adversarial runs are used to exercise unavailable tools, malformed inputs, duplicate events, missing authority, and partial execution before a release is considered for the target environment.

Reference layers support scoping. Interfaces, owners, and target-system constraints remain subject to validation.

L0101

Present task state, evidence, uncertainty, requested approvals, and recovery options in the surfaces where authorised users already work.

Typical elements · Operations console, case workspace, chat surface, approval inbox, alert, and structured handoff.

L0202

Control workflow state, agent routing, deterministic checks, authority gates, timeouts, retries, and fail-closed behaviour.

Typical elements · State machine, policy engine, human approval, guard conditions, scheduler, and rollback coordinator.

L0303

Give each step only the models, sources, APIs, credentials, and context required for its declared task.

Typical elements · Model gateway, retrieval index, system-of-record adapter, sandboxed tool, secrets broker, and schema validator.

L0404

Retain versioned traces and operational signals needed to investigate decisions, compare releases, respond to incidents, and improve the workflow.

Typical elements · Evaluation runs, provenance, approval history, tool-call log, latency and error telemetry, incident record, and release manifest.

System rationale

Handover defines how operators see uncertainty, pause or reverse a run, and escalate an exception. It also names the owners of telemetry, incidents, prompt and policy changes, source updates, and rollback. Expansion beyond the bounded pilot becomes a new evidence decision rather than an assumption carried forward from a successful demonstration.

04 · Assurance dossier

The primary story remains calm; profiles, scope, handover evidence, and discovery questions stay available as a structured technical annex.

A3Acceptance and discovery

Handover evidence

  1. A01

    Representative workflow runs preserve the triggering event, source versions, model and prompt versions, tool calls, validation results, approvals, and final state.

  2. A02

    Negative tests show that prohibited actions, missing approvals, excess permissions, and untrusted instructions cannot silently bypass the declared policy path.

  3. A03

    Injected model, tool, network, and malformed-data failures produce the agreed queue, retry, fail-closed, escalation, or rollback behaviour without hidden partial execution.

  4. A04

    The approved workflow version is evaluated against representative and adversarial cases using client-agreed task, safety, and operator-review criteria.

Discovery questions

  1. Q1What event starts the workflow, what final state ends it, and which exceptions consume the most operator attention?
  2. Q2Which actions are advisory, preparatory, approval-gated, reversible, or prohibited for automation?
  3. Q3Which systems and sources are authoritative, and what identity, classification, and retention rules apply to each?
  4. Q4What known failure, abuse, and prompt-injection scenarios must the pilot handle visibly?
  5. Q5Which representative cases and operator observations will decide whether the workflow proceeds, changes, or stops?
