Shipping Production AI Agents in 2 Weeks: How We Actually Do It

The speed advantage is strategically critical: organizations reaching production weeks earlier capture months of competitive lead and accelerate ROI from deployed agents. Success depends not on framework selection but on ruthless upfront scoping, clear success metrics (success rate, latency, cost per task, blast radius), and disciplined tooling decisions that minimize rework.
