Leaders inherit the merged slide.
Substrate choice is not a footnote under model choice.
Refuse a single protocol narrative without rows.
My rule: Make naming an operating habit.

Full written post / accessibility read
A leadership deck shows one agent protocol. Procurement hears interchange. Security is asked to sign off once. The customer still depends on tool policy, job cancellation, and where the agent process runs. Those are not one signoff.
Model spend is visible. Substrate and harness job surfaces are often buried. Treat execution substrate equal to model choice and harness choice when you plan reviews and incident queues.
Before approving an agent platform bet, ask for a one page map with tools plane, job contract, and substrate. Keep UHP marked as a draft dated September twelfth twenty twenty six until a conformance suite exists.
My rule for Fleet Ops is blunt. Separate the rows in docs, security review the substrate, and do not let a tools audit stand in for a job lifecycle review. Name the layer before you merge the stack.

Four-beat scene transcript
1. Leaders inherit the merged slide.
A leadership deck shows one agent protocol. Procurement hears interchange. Security is asked to sign off once. The customer still depends on tool policy, job cancellation, and where the agent process runs. Those are not one signoff.
Visual: Security reviews inherit the same blur.
2. Budget the seams separately.
Model spend is visible. Substrate and harness job surfaces are often buried. Treat execution substrate equal to model choice and harness choice when you plan reviews and incident queues.
Visual: Substrate choice is not a footnote under model choice.
3. Ask for the layer map.
Before approving an agent platform bet, ask for a one page map with tools plane, job contract, and substrate. Keep UHP marked as a draft dated September twelfth twenty twenty six until a conformance suite exists.
Visual: Refuse a single protocol narrative without rows.
