The outcome

Create a testable crew whose collaboration adds measurable value over a simpler deterministic or single-model workflow.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Define the outcome, benchmark, autonomy boundary, maximum iterations and cost, human checkpoints, and why more than one agent is justified.

  2. 02

    Create agents with non-overlapping roles and goals, minimal context, explicit delegation rules, and no unnecessary memory or code execution.

  3. 03

    Define tasks with typed inputs, expected structured outputs, dependencies, guardrails, and least-privilege tools that return inspectable results.

  4. 04

    Test the crew on routine, ambiguous, adversarial, tool-error, loop, and budget cases while tracing decisions, handoffs, latency, and token use.

  5. 05

    Compare against a single-agent baseline, remove redundant agents, pin dependencies and models, and require approval before consequential actions.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Justify every agent and tool.
  • Set iteration and cost ceilings.
  • Compare against a simpler baseline.
