Assign a first chair.
Choose the lead role, its remit and escalation conditions. Make coordination authority explicit before the workflow begins.
SYNTONY / CONCERTMASTER
You already have
an orchestrator.
Now assign a first
chair to lead it.
Bring your agent workflow. Scope a Concertmaster pilot around evidence, approvals and recovery in the tools you already use.

01 / THE SUPERVISION WORKSPACE
Follow the work.
Change what happens next.
Run a fictional research workflow. Inspect an agent, introduce a problem, then recover the affected branch before approving delivery.
ILLUSTRATIVE WORKFLOWResearch brief / five-agent workflow
RUN 001 / READY
FIRST CHAIR: REVIEW AGENTThe review agent is assigned as first chair. Run the workflow to inspect its handoffs.
ILLUSTRATIVE WORKFLOW / EXAMPLE DATANothing connects to an orchestrator, executes a tool, or publishes a result.
02 / A ROLE WITH CLEAR RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead the handoffs.
Keep the decisions visible.
Your orchestrator remains responsible for execution. Scope the first-chair role around the handoffs that need review, with explicit authority for each intervention.
Inspect the handoff.
Bring the source, claim, uncertainty and receiving agent into the same view. Surface missing evidence and conflicting conclusions.
Pause the affected branch.
Keep unrelated work visible while withholding the next consequential step. Explain what is paused, why, and who can resolve it.
Recover with a record.
Reassign work, revisit the evidence and stage approval. Preserve the sequence of findings, interventions and decisions.
03 / SCOPE YOUR PILOT
One workflow.
A measurable difference.
Bring a workflow where reviewing evidence, resolving conflicting outputs or recovering a failed handoff takes real operator time.
Start with one workflow, a named owner and a baseline: how long review and recovery take today. Agree which evidence can be shared, who can approve an intervention, and what the existing orchestrator can pause or resume.
Define a scoped integration demonstration around recorded examples and agreed recovery paths. Measure review time, recovery time and false escalations against the baseline before deciding whether to expand.
