Agent deployment: the process of transitioning a designed

Agent deployment: the process of transitioning a designed cognitive agent from the design phase into consistent, automatic operation in daily life, which takes weeks to months and follows a predictable curve of difficulty with specific failure modes and requires deliberate scaffolding, monitoring, and support during the first 30 days to avoid infant mortality

Why This Is a Definition

This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'agent deployment' by identifying its genus (transitioning a designed agent into operation) and differentia (weeks to months duration, predictable curve, requires scaffolding/monitoring/support, particularly in first 30 days). It distinguishes it from mere design or execution and specifies the critical timeframe and requirements.

Source Lessons

L-0583

Agent deployment is not instant

Moving an agent from design to daily operation takes time and deliberate effort.

L-0584

The first 30 days are critical

New agents are most fragile in their first month — they need extra attention and support to survive.
