The AGENTIC Framework | Mads Pierce

Start with the overview, then follow the pipeline

The AGENTIC Framework The operating system for AI agent adoption. Five pipeline stages, two parallel streams, one prioritisation matrix. 4 min Kickoff List your tasks and tech stack, let a filtering agent find the candidates, then go deep on the ones that earned it. 7 min The Assess Stage Understand the workflow before you automate it. Conversational audits, workflow extraction, discovery packs. 6 min The Greenlight Stage Score across workflow characteristics, implementation factors, and organisational readiness. Design the collaboration model. Commit. 6 min The Engineer Stage Build in sandbox, prove through parallel-run, ship with evidence. 6 min The Nurture Stage Monitor every live workflow, catch what's drifting, feed corrections back so agents improve with every run. 6 min The Track Stage Watch the frontier, resurface what's ready, govern the path to retiring what's not. 6 min The AI Governance Stream Risk classification, accountability, and ethical red lines embedded into every workflow from day one. 6 min The AI Adoption Stream Treating resistance as data, enthusiasm as risk, and trust as something you build with evidence. 5 min When to Stop: AI Agent Decommissioning Decommissioning as a first-class governance event with the same rigour as greenlighting. 5 min
