Inspector is a lead strategist and orchestrator. It works with you in a thread, learns the business context, asks a focused discovery question and decides whether the work should be handled directly or divided among specialised sub-agents.
| Stage | What Inspector does | What you control |
|---|---|---|
| Discover | Captures the company, goal, constraints and decision. | Correct missing or stale context. |
| Plan | Breaks qualifying work into useful domains. | Check scope, overlap and missing domains. |
| Approve | Asks before starting substantial delegated work. | Approve or adjust the plan. |
| Delegate | Creates task-specific sub-agents with bounded roles. | Monitor evidence and tool use. |
| Synthesise | Waits for required reports and combines the findings. | Verify claims and make the final decision. |
Dynamic, not fixed
Inspector does not use a fixed roster of eight departments. It chooses the team from the task.
- A pricing review might need market, customer and unit-economics agents.
- An acquisition review might need commercial, technical, legal and integration agents.
- A narrow factual follow-up may need no sub-agent at all.
Delegation is expected when the task spans several domains, needs deep research, compares options, asks for strategy or can be split into independent streams. Inspector can answer narrow factual and clarifying questions directly.
Threads and persistent facts
The thread carries the conversation. Important facts can also be saved so they remain available later. This reduces repeated briefing, but it creates a responsibility: correct changed facts explicitly. Start a fresh thread when the goal, permissions or company context changes materially.
What Inspector is not
- It is not a fixed scorecard engine. A score is only useful when the task defines the rubric.
- It is not read-only by default. Its configured tools can include files, shell, deployments, workflows, triggers and connected services.
- It is not an automatic source of truth. Research and synthesis still need human review.
- It is not the accountable decision-maker. The operator owns approval and consequences.
