Use cases · 20 across 8 teams

Every use case, worked until it’s closed.

Each one mixes two ways of running agents. A workflow runs the steps you already know, the same way every time, with the right model for each step. A harness keeps going toward the goal (chasing owners, escalating, re-testing), until the risk is closed. People decide the calls that matter.
