Baxie is the reference implementation. Below are the patterns scoped builds, fractional retainers, and AI-Native Org Audits actually deploy.
Multi-agent orchestration
A coordinator agent decomposes a GC's request, routes sub-tasks to specialist agents, reconciles outputs against a typed schema. PDF takeoff, estimate generation, schedule synthesis, scope packaging each have their own agent with their own evals. Failure in one doesn't poison the others.
In consulting: the spine of every multi-agent scoped build.
Multi-model routing
Opus for hard reasoning. Sonnet for default. Haiku for routine high-frequency calls where latency and cost beat ceiling. Routing is a config layer, so workflows swap models when economics shift.
In consulting: the cost-control argument the CFO signs off on.
Vision pipelines on PDF plans
Architect plans arrive as PDFs. Baxie extracts dimensions, room labels, assemblies, feeds them to the estimating agent as structured data. Not OCR on a flat image. Multi-stage vision plus typed extraction plus validation.
In consulting: the pattern for any document-heavy intake, legal redlines, claims processing, lease ingestion.
Closed-loop learning
Field actuals flow back into the next estimate. Schedule slippage calibrates the next schedule. Change orders feed the assembly cost library. The system sharpens job by job because every job is a labeled example.
In consulting: the differentiator vs bolted-on AI. The loop is the moat.
