Protocol / 5 Phases

THE METHOD.

A repeatable, audited five-phase protocol. No experimental rollouts in production, no surprise invoices, no vibes-based engineering.

PHASE_01
WK 01
AUDIT

Process mapping across departments. We instrument every manual workflow that touches a tool, a person, or a database row.

Outputs
  • Workflow Inventory
  • Friction Heatmap
  • ROI Projection
PHASE_02
WK 02
BLUEPRINT

Architecture document with explicit agent boundaries, fallback logic, and human-in-loop checkpoints. Signed off before code is written.

Outputs
  • System Schema
  • Agent Boundary Map
  • Failure-Mode Spec
PHASE_03
WK 03–04
PROTOTYPE

Sandbox build against a frozen snapshot of your data. Validated against historical decisions before touching production.

Outputs
  • Sandbox Agent
  • Eval Harness
  • Confidence Report
PHASE_04
WK 05–06
INTEGRATE

Production deployment behind a kill-switch with gradual traffic ramp. Side-by-side with existing process for two weeks minimum.

Outputs
  • Live Pipeline
  • Observability Dashboard
  • Rollback Protocol
PHASE_05
WK 07+
SCALE

Monthly tuning, drift detection, and expansion into adjacent workflows. Quarterly architecture review with leadership.

Outputs
  • Tuning Cadence
  • Drift Reports
  • Expansion Roadmap
