Agents · Supervised digital workforce

Public Sector agent squads, by domain.

Agents that prepare the routine work of government — reading grievances, checking beneficiary lists, extracting tender requirements, reconciling fund flows, tracking cases and actions — on the governed data fabric. In public-sector squads agents observe, suggest or prepare; a named official decides every case that affects a citizen's entitlement, a penalty, a tender award or a payment.
