Architecture
Swarm architecture lead
Own agent roles, task graphs, state, memory, tool boundaries, coordination, failure, and control-plane interfaces.
Partners
Add named specialist depth without hiding responsibility. Workshare, access, interfaces, artifacts, acceptance, and client communication are explicit.
Workshare patterns
The work complements product, platform, security, cloud, data, and program teams.
Architecture
Own agent roles, task graphs, state, memory, tool boundaries, coordination, failure, and control-plane interfaces.
Evaluation
Own scenario design, instrumentation, metrics, human calibration, triage, and release evidence.
Implementation
Own policy points, agent identity, entitlements, budgets, routing, observability, approvals, and shutdown.
Evidence
Produce architecture, data flow, authority, system cards, risk records, and decision briefs.
Advisory
Translate between buyer decisions, delivery architecture, control expectations, and implementation evidence.
Capture
Test fit, define workshare, identify prerequisites, and create a credible technical next step.
Delivery model
Clear interfaces reduce delivery and relationship risk.
| Principle | What it means |
|---|---|
| Named responsibility | The specialist workstream, accountable lead, artifacts, and acceptance are visible. |
| Direct technical access | Architecture work is not performed through a long relay of partial context. |
| No hidden labor | Client-facing role, subcontract status, and attribution follow the agreed model. |
| Evidence travels | Artifacts are usable by engineering, security, leadership, procurement, and operations. |
| Bounded presales | Detailed architecture begins in a paid discovery or delivery scope. |
| Explicit handoff | The partner and client retain the system context, decisions, evidence, and operating runbooks. |
Start with a bounded decision
Bring the public solicitation, client problem, capture stage, expected role, access model, and proposal date.
