00 / AGENTOPS CONTROL LAYER
Before your company scales agents, make sure someone can see, control, and trust them.
Sales agents, support agents, ops agents, code agents. They're multiplying faster than anyone can answer the basic questions: what are they allowed to do, what data can they touch, what do they cost, what did they change, and who is responsible when they fail?
Lightweight governance that ships in weeks, not an enterprise platform project.
01 / THE PROBLEM
Agent sprawl is already here
Teams are deploying agents bottom-up: a support bot here, a sales follow-up agent there, a code agent with repo access, a reporting agent with database credentials. Each one made sense in isolation. Together they form a system nobody designed and nobody can see.
Tech leaders are now accountable for AI systems they do not fully control, and most say current governance frameworks aren't adequate for agents. The failure mode isn't hypothetical: an agent with stale permissions, an unbounded spend loop, or a silent wrong action in a customer workflow. Governance after the incident costs ten times what it costs before.
THE BASIC QUESTIONS
Can you answer these today?
- How many agents run in your company right now?
- What data can each one touch?
- What did they change yesterday?
- What do they cost this month?
- Who turns one off, and how fast?
02 / DELIVERABLES
What you get
Start simple. Visibility first, then control, then trust.

OUT-02
Control
- Approval rules and human-in-the-loop checkpoints
- Data access boundaries per agent
- Kill switch controls that actually work
OUT-03
Trust
- Failure reporting and alerting
- Spend alerts before the bill surprises you
- A governance baseline your auditors and customers can read
03 / HOW IT WORKS
How it works
- 1
Inventory (week 1)
We find every agent running in the company, including the ones nobody mentioned, and map owners, permissions, and costs.
- 2
Control layer (weeks 2 to 4)
Logging, approval rules, data boundaries, spend tracking, and kill switches wired around your existing agents. No replatforming.
- 3
Operate
Monthly governance: review logs and costs, tune permissions, onboard new agents through the same controls. Governance is not a one-time project.
PRICING
$10k to $30k setup
Fixed price for inventory plus control layer, scoped on a call. Ongoing monitoring, governance, and optimization retainers run $5k to $25k per month depending on agent footprint.
04 / FIT
Who this is for
A strong fit if
- Mid-market company starting to deploy agents across teams
- Multiple agents already running with no shared visibility
- Compliance, customers, or the board are asking governance questions
- You want control without freezing agent adoption
Not the right call if
- No agents yet and none planned this year
- You want a policy PDF rather than a working control layer
- A single team runs a single agent and can see everything it does
