# The problem

Opens where almost everybody is standing (agents already running, and no way to say what wrong means) and lands on the delta. Stops there.

Read live out of vault `posrhzp3` with its published read key.

## What this deck is doing

| **The problem it starts from** | I do not know what my agents are doing |
|---|---|
| **What it answers** | Observation: records of what they did, passive mode, a status block |
| **Vocabulary it introduces** | the record · grant · mandate · delta |
| **Who it is for** | a first conversation: the person who owns the risk, or the person who owns the agents |
| **Roughly** | 12 minutes |
| **Where it deliberately stops** | bands, limits, refusals, pools, premiums, price, none of it appears |

It ends on the question it does not answer, **“The delta is enormous. What do I do about it?”**, which is where [The map](map.md) picks up.

## Notes on this deck

Nothing has been written here yet. This section is the reason each deck has a page of its own: room for what the slides cannot carry, where the argument came from, what changed since, what an audience pushed back on, and any recording that narrates it.

## On video

The author recorded a series on this vault. No short has been mapped to this deck yet; until one is, [the seven shorts](../videos/index.md) are the narrated material.
