The agent tier: Rethinking runtime architecture for context-driven enterprise workflows
"Most large enterprises run on deterministic software foundations. Business rules are embedded within workflows, state transitions are modeled explicitly and escalation paths are defined in advance."
"The underlying challenge was not a shortage of rules but expressing contextual judgment within a static branching structure. Differentiation occurred only at predefined checkpoints."
Large enterprises rely on deterministic software foundations where business rules are embedded in workflows, ensuring predictable outcomes. This model works well under limited variation but struggles when processes must adapt to broader contexts. Customer onboarding in banking exemplifies this tension, balancing fraud detection, regulatory compliance, and user experience. Cross-functional teams face trade-offs between reducing friction and meeting compliance, resulting in increased workflow complexity. The challenge lies in expressing contextual judgment within a static branching structure, limiting differentiation to predefined checkpoints.
