The tool accumulation trap
A new assistant can accelerate one task while creating another silo. The missing layer is shared context, governed access and a measurable handoff between tools.
Design around an outcome
Start with one operational result—qualified response, document turnaround or reporting confidence—and define the information, decisions and controls required to produce it.
Expand only with evidence
Once the first loop is reliable, additional agents can reuse the same governed memory and controls instead of creating parallel systems.
