Choose the right resource for your stage
From business case to controlled deployment
These resources are designed to be used together. Start with economics and workflow definition, compare vendors against the same evidence, then test permissions, quality and recovery before increasing autonomy.
Build the business case
Use the cost calculator and ROI worksheet to compare the current manual workflow with an agent-assisted scenario. Keep model spend, review time and retries visible, and evaluate cost per accepted outcome rather than headline execution price.
Compare solutions consistently
Use the RFP template and marketplace comparison framework to give every vendor the same workflow, inputs, controls and evaluation criteria. That makes capability and pricing claims easier to verify.
Prepare a controlled pilot
Use the readiness scorecard to define a representative test set, human owner, permissions, approval gates, monitoring and rollback. A pilot should produce evidence, not merely demonstrate that the agent can run.
Secure access before scaling
Use the security checklist to review credentials, least privilege, data boundaries, logging and incident recovery. Increase autonomy only after repeated results show the workflow remains within its intended boundary.
Apply recruitment-specific controls
The recruitment checklist and sourcing template separate research assistance from consequential employment decisions. They emphasize explicit criteria, evidence provenance, human review and controlled communications.
Re-measure after launch
Replace assumptions with observed acceptance rate, review minutes, retries, latency and total cost. Version the workflow and keep difficult failures as regression tests so future changes are compared against evidence.
