White-Label Agent Productization Sprint (10-14 days)
A fixed-scope engagement that turns one named client workflow into a branded, governed agent the agency can bill against a retainer instead of reselling a vendor seat. The sprint ships the agent, the controls around it, and the commercial wrapper the agency owns.
- One client workflow selected and written down, with the current cycle time and the person accountable for it
- Written data-handling position covering where client records may be processed and what may not leave the tenant
- Access to the client's knowledge sources (brand guides, past deliverables, transcripts) in a form the chosen platform can ingest
- A named internal owner who will run the agent after handover, plus a named client-side approver
- Agreed pricing model for the finished product: setup fee plus monthly retainer, or per-seat resale
- 1.Map the target workflow end to end and mark every handoff where a human currently decides
- 2.Record baseline numbers: hours per cycle, revision count, cost per output
- 3.Confirm which systems the agent must read from and write to
- 1.Score candidate platforms against the workflow, not against feature lists
- 2.Check white-label depth: custom domain, logo removal, and whether the client ever sees the vendor name
- 3.Verify the commercial terms allow resale at the margin the agency intends to charge
- 1.Load the client's methodology into the knowledge layer and test retrieval on 20 real questions
- 2.Define the agent's role, tone, and refusal behavior in writing before configuration
- 3.Set the memory boundary: what persists between sessions and what is discarded
- 1.Build the first agent flow covering the happy path only
- 2.Wire tool calls to the client's CRM, calendar, or document store
- 3.Log every tool call with timestamp and payload for later audit
- 1.Add escalation rules for anything touching client-facing communication or pricing
- 2.Insert a human-review checkpoint before any outbound send
- 3.Classify the workflow by autonomy level and document the classification
- 1.Run 30 test cases drawn from the client's real backlog, including five adversarial prompts
- 2.Record failure modes and the correction each one needs
- 3.Tune prompts and retrieval until the pass rate holds above the agreed threshold
- 1.Apply the agency's brand to the interface: domain, colors, and client-facing copy
- 2.Remove or replace every vendor-visible surface
- 3.Draft the one-page client-facing explainer of what the agent does and does not do
- 1.Write the runbook: how to restart, retrain, and roll back
- 2.Document the escalation path and the response time the agency commits to
- 3.Set up usage and error alerting to the agency's own inbox, not the client's
- 1.Train the client's operator in a live session using their own data
- 2.Hand over the runbook and walk through two failure scenarios
- 3.Agree the weekly review cadence for the first month
- 1.Run the agent in parallel with the manual process for one full cycle
- 2.Compare output quality and cycle time against the day-one baseline
- 3.Collect operator feedback and fix the top three friction points
- 1.Package the offer for the next client: scope, price, and timeline
- 2.Write the case note with the measured before-and-after numbers
- 3.Confirm the retainer line item and renewal trigger with the account owner
The agency charges for the workflow, the controls, and the handover, not for access to a builder. A single productized agent that replaces 15 to 25 hours of monthly delivery work per client pays back the setup fee inside two quarters, and the retainer recurs while the platform subscription stays a pass-through line. Margin holds because the second and third deployments reuse the same flow template, runbook, and test set, cutting build time by roughly half each time.
- Configured agent deployed under the agency's domain with vendor branding removed
- Governance pack: autonomy classification, escalation rules, and data-handling note
- Test log with 30 cases, pass rate, and documented failure modes
- Operator runbook covering restart, retrain, rollback, and escalation
- Commercial one-pager with scope, pricing, and the measured baseline comparison
The agent runs one complete client workflow end to end under the agency's brand, passes the agreed test threshold, and the client's named operator executes a restart and rollback from the runbook without agency assistance.
