Frequently Asked Questions
When should I scale from one agent to multiple?
When your first agent is in production, monitored, and delivering measurable value. Scaling before the first agent is stable creates compound failure. The signal: your first agent is handling routine work reliably and you've identified adjacent domains with similar patterns.
Does each agent need its own training?
Agents don't need training, they need context. In Business-as-Code, the schemas and skills you build for one agent partially transfer to the next. A sales agent's CRM schema benefits a customer service agent. Each new agent requires domain-specific skills but inherits shared organizational context.
What breaks when you scale agents?
Coordination. One agent is simple. Ten agents need clear domain boundaries or they step on each other. Fifty agents need a meta-agent pattern to route work. The architecture that works for one agent won't work for ten without deliberate orchestration design.
How do you measure agent performance at scale?
Three metrics: task completion rate (percentage of assigned tasks completed correctly), time-to-resolution (how long agent-handled tasks take vs. human baseline), and coverage expansion (how many new task types the system handles each month). The Recursive Loop drives coverage expansion.
