The TopCat AI Signal Report #72

The leadership test today is simple.

As agents become easier to buy and easier to build, leaders must become more deliberate.

You do not need to deploy ten agents.

You need to identify one workflow where the cost of delay, repetition, or inconsistency is high.

Then ask:

Can an AI system assist with the first layer of this work?

Can we define the boundary?

Can a person review the outcome where it matters?

Can we measure whether it improved the result?

Can we explain it clearly to the customer?

If the answer is yes, you may have a strong workflow for AI.

If the answer is no, more autonomy will not solve the problem.

It may just hide it for a while.
