Run 24 Checks Before You Build an Agent You Have to Rebuild

Most agent builds fail in the first week — not because the tools are wrong, but because the architecture decision was made before the right questions were asked. This pre-flight audit asks them for you. Free PDF.

• 24 checks across 6 categories — Scope, Tool Design, Safety + Adversarial Inputs, Observability, Cost + Budget, Failure Recovery.
• Each check has a pass/fail criterion and a 1-line fix direction. You either pass or you know what to fix.
• 7 documented agent failure modes with real incidents and mitigations, plus a 1-page go / no-go summary sheet.
