Agents solve throughput and consistency problems — not strategy. Top pains: slow customer response, manual data entry, dropped follow-ups, policy answers trapped in Slack, and audit gaps.

- Knowledge scatter → grounded answers from docs + CRM
- Handoff drops → checklist agents on cron
Pain → agent mapping
