Can the system find the decisions and constraints it needs?
- Build
- A scoped memory index
- Accept when
- An agent can find the latest decision and cite its source.
- Guardrail
- Exclude secrets and private material the workflow does not need.
The Architect's Loop
Five moves. One dependency order.
Find the first layer your workflow has not locked in. Build one inspectable artifact there before adding another agent, automation, or metric.
Assessment → artifact
The method ends in a buildable handoff.
01
Assess
Answer five dependency questions locally in the browser.
02
Export
Download or copy the generated Markdown architecture brief.
03
Build
Use only the starter artifact for the first move that is not locked in.
04
Review
Keep, revise, or stop the system using its acceptance evidence.
Ordered dependencies
Build the first missing layer—not all five.
Design
Is the repeating job written before execution begins?
- Build
- A one-job system specification
- Accept when
- Another person can explain the input, output, owner, boundary, and stop condition.
- Guardrail
- Do not automate an ambiguous job.
Build
Can one bounded worker complete one part reliably?
- Build
- A single-purpose agent or skill
- Accept when
- The worker passes one representative fixture and fails safely on an invalid one.
- Guardrail
- Limit permissions and tools to the named job.
Automate
Are trigger, review, failure, and receipt connected?
- Build
- A supervised workflow loop
- Accept when
- One run produces an output, review state, failure path, and durable receipt.
- Guardrail
- Keep consequential actions human-approved.
Compound
Can two runs be compared using the same outcome evidence?
- Build
- A feedback and review protocol
- Accept when
- The next run records what changed and why against the same evidence-backed score.
- Guardrail
- Do not let proxy metrics silently replace the real outcome.
Public boundary
A workflow method—not a diagnosis or promise.
The assessment evaluates workflow architecture from the answers you choose. It does not evaluate personality, mental or physical health, financial potential, or future outcomes.
Private inputs stay under your control.
Optional assessment context remains in browser state. The generated brief is visible only to you unless you choose to download, copy, or share it.
Find the gap, then open the matching build path.
The assessment produces the scope, acceptance test, guardrail, and seven-day order. Implementation options remain separate from the free method and are not a checkout promise.
