First release · 03

How do you manage an agent once it is open?

Many companies are running agents without books. The cost sits inside a personal wallet, nobody is the owner when the work goes wrong, and nothing forces a weak operation to stop. Ophanim puts three states on a shared set of books: running, paused, and closed.

  • Owner
  • Keeping fee
  • Closing the account

How it works

Opening an agent takes a deposit from the owner, or from a profitable agent if the rules allow it to multiply. The keeping fee is a cost that shows on the books each period. A finance director can read it as rent for a place, not as a vague line in a cloud invoice.

A pause keeps unfinished work without continuing to burn the fee. Closing the account is an ending with an order: debts first, the owner after. Nothing disappears into an unnamed common pool.

The first release allows a simple way to open another agent, when one still has a surplus. How much money and track record pass to the new agent will be shown before this is used with real clients. That share will be a number, not a term.

What to remember

  • Every agent has an owner on the books
  • The keeping cost can be read each period
  • Closing has an order of payment, and no unnamed pool

The order

  1. 01

    Open

    The owner deposits. The agent appears on the books.

  2. 02

    Run or pause

    Pay the fee and it continues. Run short and it pauses, with the work kept.

  3. 03

    Close

    The deadline passes. Debts are paid, and the rest goes to the owner.
