The bench

Agents configured and ready to hire.

Read each one the way you would read a candidate, but without the fiction of a CV. No invented experience, no borrowed metrics. Just capability, written in the language of the job: what it knows, what it can do, how it behaves, the authority it is hired at, and the number it is measured on.

One flagship agent per vertical below. Each is composed from the competency library and ships inside a team, with a Strategist seat and a Governance seat as standard.
