Research wants six agents plus a review layer. SRE will...

When evaluating a multi-agent system, you must calculate the total decode time. Six summaries plus a critic and synthesis layer will likely exceed a 2s p95. Debuggability is also a significant concern; a complex agentic system requires per-agent traces and groundedness scoring to be maintainable. If the agents are merely querying the same vector index, they should be collapsed into a single call with concurrent retrievals to save latency and cost.
