Most agent pilots fail the moment they leave a controlled demo and touch real operating conditions.
Core idea
Point 1
Production does not mean the agent can complete a happy-path task. Production means the agent can operate inside messy reality with boundaries, evidence, escalation rules, and accountability.
Point 2
Most workflows contain exceptions, stale documents, unclear owners, and hidden approvals. Agents do not magically fix that. They often expose it.
Point 3
The production question is: what should the agent do when context conflicts, risk rises, or authority is unclear?
Point 4
If the answer lives in someone's memory, the workflow is not agent-ready. It needs process legibility first.
Point 5
Start with the diagnostic. Map the approval layer before you scale autonomy.
