The useful part

Yet critical decisions still fail, agents still hallucinate, and workflows still run on yesterday's data. The problem is not a lack of technology, but a lack of architectural thinking. Process intelligence, event-driven integration, and trusted agentic AI are being built in isolation, by different teams, with different goals, on different timelines.

How it works

  • They only deliver their full value when they are designed to work together.
  • The result is an architecture that looks complete on a slide and breaks in production.

Details worth keeping

This post argues that these three capabilities form a Trinity.
