01

The challenge

Strategy teams were drowning in generative noise. Agents drafted fast but buried provenance, so analysts spent more time verifying than thinking.

02

The approach

We treated every claim as a unit of work: retrieve, score, cite, then synthesize. Human checkpoints sit between agent steps so speed never outruns trust.

03

The build

An agent orchestration layer with tool-routed retrieval, citation cards, and a review workspace. The UI surfaces confidence, conflicts, and source freshness beside every recommendation.

04

The result

Briefs ship with linked evidence by default. Analysts steer agents instead of cleaning up after them, and leadership can audit how an answer was formed.
