Delivery Model

On-Demand Execution

Agency services execute per request, not monthly retainer:

interface AgencyService {
  // What you want
  brief: string
  deliverable: string
  deadline?: Date

  // How it's delivered
  activity: string      // e.g., "logo.design.ing.as"
  context: string       // e.g., "branding"
  role: string         // e.g., "designer"

  // Quality control
  iterations: number    // Rounds of revision
  humanReview?: boolean // Escalate to human
  approver?: Worker    // Who approves final
}

Example: Logo Design Service

const logoDesign: AgencyService = {
  brief: "Modern, minimalist logo for AI SaaS company",
  deliverable: "SVG logo + brand guidelines",
  deadline: new Date('2024-01-20'),

  activity: "logo.design.ing.as",
  context: "branding",
  role: "designer",

  iterations: 3,
  humanReview: true,
  approver: { $type: 'Human', email: 'cmo@company.com' }
}

Execution Flow:

1. Agent generates initial concepts
   └── logo.design.ing.as/branding/designer

2. Present to human for feedback
   └── design.review.ing.as/branding/manager

3. Agent iterates on feedback
   └── logo.design.ing.as/branding/designer

4. Final approval
   └── design.approv.ing.as/branding/manager

5. Deliver assets + guidelines
   └── Event: LogoDelivered

Quality Assurance

Iteration Loops

Agent work goes through revision cycles:

Generate → Review → Revise → Approve
    ↑                           │
    └───────────────────────────┘
         (if not approved)

Human-in-the-Loop

Complex or sensitive work escalates to humans:

interface QualityGate {
  trigger: 'always' | 'on_failure' | 'random_sample'
  reviewer: Worker
  criteria: string[]
}

const qualityGate: QualityGate = {
  trigger: 'always',
  reviewer: { $type: 'Human', role: 'Creative Director' },
  criteria: [
    'Brand alignment',
    'Technical quality',
    'Market appropriateness'
  ]
}

Review Activities

design.review.ing.as/branding/director
code.review.ing.as/dev/senior
content.review.ing.as/marketing/manager
campaign.review.ing.as/marketing/director

  colorScheme: { primary: '#007AFF', ... },
  createdBy: { $type: 'Agent', role: 'designer' },
  approvedBy: { $type: 'Human', email: 'cmo@acme.com' }
}

// Campaigns collection

  $type: 'Campaign',
  $id: 'camp_456',
  name: 'Q1 Product Launch',
  channels: ['email', 'social', 'paid'],
  assets: [...],
  createdBy: { $type: 'Agent', role: 'campaign-manager' },
  approvedBy: { $type: 'Human', email: 'marketing@acme.com' }
}
