Business as Agent (BOA) treats the business as the durable unit and agents as an evolvable workforce. The core promise is continuity: the business identity and governance persist even when workers, tools, or workflows change.
BOA is not “more agents by default.” It is controlled delegation with durable context and accountable decisions.

​
Why BOA

  • Preserve continuity while agent composition changes.
  • Delegate specialized work without losing policy control.
  • Keep memory and audit history attached to the business, not a single worker.
