Vertical products

A vertical product wins by understanding one operating system deeply.

The agent is only one part of the product.

The complete system includes the workflow, records, permissions, customer interface, evidence, and human decision points.

Model the responsibility

Define the business object and lifecycle before choosing an agent framework.

For a claim, that may include opened, evidence requested, evidence received, reviewed, exception found, approved, paid, and closed.

For an opportunity, it may include discovered, qualified, assigned, prepared, reviewed, submitted, awarded, and lost.

The agent should advance an explicit workflow rather than inventing state in a chat transcript.

Separate assistance from authority

An agent can prepare a filing without being authorized to submit it.

It can calculate a recommendation without being authorized to approve it.

It can draft an external message without being authorized to send it.

Represent those boundaries in product state and tool permissions.

Make it a real product

Use MIOSA deployments and domains for the customer-facing application.

Use workspace and external attribution boundaries to connect infrastructure usage to each downstream customer.

Use managed data for product records and object storage for customer artifacts.

Use sandboxes and computers only behind the product experience.
