One objective, bounded ownership
An orchestrator converts the product objective into explicit work packets, assigns each packet to the right specialist, and collects structured artifacts. Every worker receives the minimum context and permissions required. Integration happens against shared interfaces, acceptance criteria, and test evidence.
Work packets
Clear owner, inputs, constraints, deliverable, validation, and stopping condition.
Shared contracts
Interfaces and decision records prevent parallel work from drifting into incompatible systems.
Evidence-backed merge
Tests, reviews, and risk checks determine what enters the integrated product.
When it earns the complexity
We recommend multi-agent architecture when specialists need distinct tools, responsibilities, or context; when independent work can run safely in parallel; or when an orchestrator must adapt the plan based on intermediate results. A deterministic workflow or single agent remains better for narrow, stable tasks.
Design the smallest team that can own the job.
We map roles, contracts, evaluation, cost, and control before adding complexity.
