A refund gets issued. A discount gets applied. A loan gets declined. Three weeks later, someone asks why — and nobody can say cleanly whether a person made that call or an agent did, not because it was hidden, but because the workflow was never built to tell the difference. Deploy a Customer Success agent for one job-to-be-done — retain and grow the account — and it sits on top of four functions that never signed off on it: RevOps owns the data it reads, Finance owns the approval its recommendations feed, Product owns the signals its score is built from, Legal owns the terms it can't contradict. Teams that treat this as a one-role automation project discover those stakeholders the hard way, usually after launch. This piece walks through a working framework — the Replace/Assist/Compress spectrum, a RACI mapping that makes default accountability gaps visible, and why visibility has to come before the fact, not after — for figuring out where an agent's autonomy should actually have edges.
