Coordinate: a lead orchestrates dynamically
A lead model decides which analysts to consult based on the question, then synthesizes.Broadcast: everyone evaluates, the lead synthesizes
Every analyst assesses the same question independently. The lead reconciles agreement and disagreement into one call. Use this when independence reduces bias.Pipeline: the same steps, every time
When a review must be auditable, aWorkflow fixes the steps. Each step’s output feeds the next; independent steps run in parallel.
Teams vs Workflows
A mature research system uses both: Teams for exploration, a Workflow for the decision of record.
