Five-stage workflow
01Connect finance, sales, product, and operations data
02Standardize metric definitions and validate quality
03Calculate trends, comparisons, and anomaly signals
04Generate cause hypotheses, impact, and action prompts
05Distribute role-based daily reports, weekly reports, and alerts
Recommended components
Start with one component per capability and replace it only when evaluation data shows a clear gap.
No independently verified component matches this capability yet. Use the architecture as a reference and confirm providers before implementation.
From proof of concept to production
- 01Define the user journey, input and output schemas, permission boundaries, and success metrics.
- 02Build one end-to-end happy path with the smallest viable tool stack and a fixed evaluation set.
- 03Add authentication, timeouts, retries, fallbacks, audit logs, and human review for risky actions.
- 04Release to a limited audience, measure quality, latency, and cost, then expand with evidence.
Framework-neutral orchestration skeleton
TypeScript
type WorkflowInput = { request: string; userId: string };
type StageAdapter = (context: unknown) => Promise<unknown>;
const stages = [
"Connect finance, sales, product, and operations data",
"Standardize metric definitions and validate quality",
"Calculate trends, comparisons, and anomaly signals",
"Generate cause hypotheses, impact, and action prompts",
"Distribute role-based daily reports, weekly reports, and alerts"
];
const selectedTools = [];
export async function runWorkflow(input: WorkflowInput, adapters: Record<string, StageAdapter>) {
let context: unknown = { ...input, selectedTools };
for (const stage of stages) {
const adapter = adapters[stage];
if (!adapter) throw new Error(`Missing adapter: ${stage}`);
context = await adapter(context);
}
return context;
}Implement each adapter on the server with the selected component’s official SDK or API. Never expose provider credentials in browser code.
Production checklist
- ✓Every stage has a defined owner, input, output, timeout, and failure state.
- ✓Credentials and sensitive data stay server-side with least-privilege access.
- ✓Model output is validated before it reaches a database, user, or external action.
- ✓Sources, tool calls, prompts, versions, and human decisions are traceable.
- ✓A fixed evaluation set covers normal, ambiguous, adversarial, and unavailable-tool cases.
- ✓The workflow has a visible fallback and a manual recovery path.
