Design Agent

The newest member of the team. It takes the approved requirements and works out how the data should be built — the blueprint that turns a wish-list of KPIs into a buildable pipeline.

What it does

Requirements tell you what the business needs. The Design Agent decides how to deliver it. It maps out the layers of the pipeline, the tables that need to exist, the staging steps in between, and how everything connects — so that every KPI and business question has a clear path to an answer. This is the step that used to take a senior data architect days of whiteboarding.

✨

The bridge between business and build. The design becomes the agreed plan that the rest of the pipeline follows — turning open-ended requirements into something the build agents can execute precisely.

How it works

  1. Read the requirementsStarts from the approved business requirements, KPIs, and key questions produced in Phase 1.
  2. Design the data layersLays out the analytical and reporting layers and the staging tables in between, each justified by a KPI or business question.
  3. Define the rules and relationshipsDocuments table-level business rules and maps out how all the data sources connect to each other.
  4. Package the blueprintProduces clear design documents and data models — in Word and Excel — ready for review and for the build agents to pick up.

What it delivers

  • A complete pipeline blueprint, from raw sources to reporting-ready data
  • Analytical and reporting layer designs, each tied back to a business need
  • Intermediate (staging) table designs that keep the pipeline clean and reusable
  • An extended map of how every data source relates to every target
  • Table-level business rules captured in a shareable document
  • Design artifacts auto-converted to rich Excel and Word formats

Flexible to how much you already have

Not every project starts from scratch. The Design Agent adapts to four common situations — from designing the whole pipeline itself, to simply validating and formalising designs your team has already drafted.

Scenario A

Design from scratch

You bring requirements only — the agent designs the full pipeline and data model.

Scenario B

Validate your designs

You provide draft designs — the agent reviews, fills gaps, and formalises them.

Scenario C

Finish the details

You provide most of the plan — the agent completes the table-level specifics.
