Research into two-party agentic delivery
Public agencies, mission services, procurement, accountability, and successor-ready delivery.
AAO-095 / Resilience and Exit
Public-sector AI providers should design transition assets and evidence from the start. A service is more credible when an authorized successor can understand its configuration, pending work, rights, and operating limitations without depending on undocumented incumbent knowledge.
AAO-089 / Commercial and Vendor Management
Public procurement managers should require evidence that the authority can inspect and challenge independently of the supplier’s explanation. Evaluation should test the service’s actual function, limitations, decision records, and correction route before dependence becomes material.
AAO-080 / Commercial and Vendor Management
Public-sector executives should settle rights to use, inspect, correct, retain, and transfer the artifacts required to operate an outsourced agentic service. Ownership language alone does not establish whether the authority or a successor supplier can continue the public function.
AAO-038 / Governance and Accountability
Public-service leaders should retain the ability to explain, challenge, and correct supplier-agent actions affecting the public. A technology contract must not make evidence, authority, or practical remedies inaccessible to the agency responsible for the service.
