Agent swarms and sub-agents fail when they carry everything: every responsibility on the split, every bit of context loaded at once. The fix is structure, not a smarter model.

Creator-vetting tools track what's moving, which category is hot, and how many followers a creator has. What they leave out is which creator converts sales for a specific shop.

Capability and authority are separate design decisions. A framework for what an agent is authorized to decide, drawn from Meta, Claude Mythos, and Workday.

The Seven Dimensions of Enterprise AI names the seven decisions behind an AI product that works in production, and model selection is the smallest of them.
