What you'll learn
Fail-close tools by blast radius
Match HITL and permissions to stakes. Prompt injection, write access, and compliance are design inputs.
Design the path, not a pile of agents
Pick a pattern — workflow, agentic, or augmented LLM — and decompose it so a teammate could implement it.
Put risk in the architecture, not a slide
Hazard, control, owner. GDPR, HIPAA, FedRAMP constrain the path — they are not a values appendix.
Why this topic matters
Forrester: the enterprise architect is now the human in the loop responsible for what agentic AI delivers. Labs cannot sell that. Models cannot own it. Capital is chasing people who put guardrails, HITL, and compliance on the path — not on a values slide after the demo. In 30 minutes you will fail-close the system so the organization can actually trust it. Lesson 3 of 5.
