The signal
The orchestration layer is maturing. Durable execution, replay-safe workflows, queue-first design, and proof artifacts are becoming more commercially important than clever one-shot agents.
Why operators should care
If an AI system cannot prove what happened, recover from a bad step, or survive a transient outage, it will collapse under real customer usage. Reliability is now part of the product, not a backend afterthought.
Monetization angle
Package an evidence-gated operations layer for teams already using AI internally. The pitch is simple: fewer false alerts, fewer ghost tasks, and clearer proof of what the agent actually did.
