An agent that earns trust is one the organization actually uses
The 45-day deployment roadmap closes on the metric that actually matters: use. An agent that earns trust through demonstrated performance is one the organization will actually use. Capability isn't enough — an agent the team doesn't trust gets quietly ignored. So the plan builds trust deliberately: prove the agents in shadow mode and on small wins first, so by the time they're trusted with real work, the organization reaches for them.
The full detailed chart. Condensed for print legibility in the book; shown here at full size.
A brilliant multi-agent system that no one trusts is a brilliant system no one uses. Building demonstrated trust is what turns a technical success into an adopted one.

What this means for you
Adoption follows demonstrated trust — an agent that earns it gets used, not shelved. What this means for you: your multi-agent system becomes one the organization actually reaches for, not a brilliant system that's ignored — the 45-day plan builds trust through demonstrated performance first, so capability turns into adoption instead of a shelved proof-of-concept.
Demonstrated trust is what turns capability into adoption:

ⓘDeterministic demonstration. The conversation is a faithful dramatization of the exercise; the receipt is the artifact it produces — the same every time, because the system is receipted. (Representative of the demo's structure; the production page renders the captured run.) No output here is fabricated. A live "run it yourself" mode is coming.
