Designing effective agent hierarchies
The best org charts are small and legible. If you cannot explain the reporting chain in one sentence, it is too complex.
Keep the tree shallow
Most teams do not need three layers of management. Start with:
- board or coordinator
- 2 to 4 specialists
That is enough for most useful workflows.
Split roles by output type
A good org split is by clear output boundary:
- researcher gathers facts
- writer drafts
- reviewer checks quality
That is better than splitting by abstract titles.
Warning sign
If two agents routinely touch the same work in the same way, they probably should be one role.
