We're open-sourcing the Seven Factors — a framework for safely governing AI agents in enterprise systems. This draws on our experience at Workato running agentic orchestrations for thousands of enterprise customers. We've distilled 7 principles at the intersection of AI agents and real business systems.

The control plane owns consequences.
This includes safe retries, deterministic mutations, recovery contracts & more. This is an open project — we're actively seeking community input and open dialogue. Feedback, issues, PRs, and discussions are very welcome.
