Agent Architecture

Anthropic-aligned design patterns for every department. Based on Building Effective Agents — covering workflow patterns, evaluation criteria, error handling, human checkpoints, and scaling rules.

19 of 19 departments

Key Principles Applied

Start Simple, Scale Up

Each department starts with single agents for simple tasks, scaling to multi-agent orchestration only when complexity demands it.

Tools Over Autonomy

Agents use well-defined tool interfaces (ACI) rather than open-ended autonomy. Every tool call has expected inputs, outputs, and error states.

Human Checkpoints

High-stakes decisions (budget, compliance, production deploys) always pause for human approval before proceeding.

Evaluation-Driven

Every department has measurable success criteria with automated, LLM-judge, or human evaluation methods.

Graceful Degradation

Every error scenario has a fallback strategy and escalation path. Agents never fail silently.

Self-Improvement Loops

Each department logs performance data and uses it to refine prompts and thresholds on a quarterly cycle.
