When One Agent Plans and Another Executes, the Planner's View Decides Everything

Split network operations into a planning agent and an executing agent and you have an elegant design on paper. One agent reasons about what should change and validates it. The other carries it out.

Frontier capability is becoming abundant - rentable by anyone, swappable in an afternoon, and roughly identical in your hands and your competitor's. An advantage everyone can buy is not an advantage. What can't be bought is the thing underneath it: a system that has learned how your business actually works - the intelligence your enterprise accumulates and no competitor can replicate.
