HeadOfAgents

Are you ready to run agents in production?

Readiness is not a technology question. It is whether you have owned data, a defined workflow, a named accountable owner, and a measurable outcome. Missing any one of those is why pilots stall before production.Four gates decide it, and a pilot stalls at whichever one it fails first:1Owned data. The workflow runs on data you control, can grant access to, and can correct when it is wrong.

What does this site actually cover?

Four things, and deliberately not more: what the role is and what it pays, whether you are ready to hire for it, what the hiring market is doing, and what each agent workflow costs to build.

Why is the role the subject here, and not the tools?

Because the tools are not the constraint. Agent frameworks, model providers, and orchestration layers are mature enough to build with today. What stalls programs is that no single person is accountable for deciding what to automate, what to ship, and when to stop.The pattern repeats: a company runs a promising pilot, the pilot works in a demo, and then it sits.

How do we source what we publish?

Every number carries an inline link to its source and the date it was published. Where we have no sourced figure, we say so and leave the field empty rather than estimating into it. That is the whole standard, and it is deliberately boring.Every statistic is dated and linked in the sentence that makes the claim — not collected in a footnote you have to reconcile yourself.Unknown is stated as unknown.

What are we not claiming?

We are not claiming a large vetted bench of available executives.
