Questions for your own team

  • Who owns brand rules and campaign briefs as machine-readable context, and who approves changes?
  • What do you log about what an agent did, and how long do you keep it?
  • Which manual re-entry steps (such as media plan line items) cost the most time today?

Our read

The common thread is context and measurement for agents. Own those two things inside your team before you add more agents.
