- System design: a claims workflow
- Evaluation harness walk-through
- Cost controls
- Live coding: a retry policy
What the 16Psyke architect wrote
Strong on what this role is about: keeping a fleet of agents reliable when the tools underneath them are not. Designed the evaluation harness before the workflow, which is the right order. Pushed back on the premise, correctly.
