“When work comes in, the intake agent… preparer agent does the first draft… reviewer agent checks that draft… a person always approves before anything reaches the client.”
“Carnegie also insisted on railroad-style cost accounting… His monthly reports carefully spread labor costs… tracked all raw material inputs and percentage of waste… competitors literally had no idea what was going on inside their own company.”
“We have some templates and some examples of security review agents in the open source... you can actually incorporate as roles in your harness to then do that end-to-end security review”
