The path that ships

  1. your productwhere the problem lives
  2. agentone, scoped to a real job
  3. MCP toolsCRM and docs, nothing more
  4. eval harnessproves it works before it ships
  5. API (Python/Go)a backend that holds up
  6. cloud (AWS/GCP)sized to real load

Not built: fine-tuned model, vector cluster.
