AI Agent Orchestration Checklist for Business Leaders

1. Organizational Readiness Checklist

• Identify a business process with high manual latency and unstructured data inputs.
• Ensure team members understand the difference between chatbots and goal-directed agents.
• Allocate budget for language model tokens and VPC hosting configurations.

2. Data Availability Checklist

• Identify where the data resides (SQL databases, legacy ERPs, local file storage).
• Confirm that databases are accessible via structured APIs or read-replicas.
• Compile clean sample datasets (invoices, emails) to serve as testing benchmarks.

3. Workflow Logic Checklist

• Map the business process step-by-step, including decision trees.
• Specify the tools and APIs required at each stage.
• Define clear rules for when a task should halt and await human intervention.

4. Security & Governance Checklist

• Ensure the orchestration system can run within your isolated VPC perimeter.
• Implement PII filtration to redact private information before querying models.
• Configure role-based access keys for database writes.
• Establish programmatic locks for high-impact actions (e.g., money transfers).

5. Evaluation & Monitoring Checklist

• Set up automated tests to evaluate model responses on mock tasks.
• Implement trace logs to capture prompt variables, outputs, and latencies.
• Establish baseline cost limits per reasoning run to prevent loop bloat.

6. Deployment & Support Checklist

• Define backup model endpoints in case primary model APIs fail.
• Assign a local team member to review approval queues.
• Establish an SLA for engineering maintenance on tool APIs.
