The B experience begins with the social film, continues through its scene-by-scene argument, and ends with the original web interaction.
Rehearse a frozen research-agent workflow with synthetic citations and no live agents, browsing, tools, autonomous truth-finding or external effect.
RN conceived the question, structured the evidence boundaries, designed the experience, implemented the prototype and documented its limits.
This independent prototype demonstrates an approach; it is not a deployed client system, professional advice or proof of real-world outcomes.
Watch the film first, then move through the scene-by-scene argument, then open the web interaction at the end. Each stage restates the same question at a different resolution, so the sequence matters more here than on the A side. You can leave at any stage and still have the whole argument.
The build overview sets out the question, the purpose, the role and the evidence status in one place, and the public record behind it states what changed, what another person can reuse and what supports the system. If you want to judge how far this build should be trusted, the record is the page to read, not this one.
Build 090 — Build agents that show their work
DISTRIBUTABLE SOCIAL ARTIFACT
Watch the LinkedIn cut
This silent-first 4:5 film is designed for the LinkedIn feed. Its complete argument appears as on-screen text; captions, the visible transcript and the download preserve the same words.

BUILD 090-B — Build agents that show their work 1. Build agents that show their work. Govern discovery, challenge, verification and escalation. 2. Assign distinct research roles. 3. Bind every claim to a source. 4. Make agents challenge each other. 5. Escalate unresolved disagreement. 6. Use only the verified answer.
INTERACTIVE MOTION STORY
Explore the motion argument
The film distributes the idea. This motion story uses the caption track as its source of truth, so every scene preserves the film text while letting you control the pace.
SCENE 1
Build agents that show their work. Govern discovery, challenge, verification and escalation.

Explore the interactive version
The LinkedIn cut is the shareable social artifact. The original B build below is the fuller web experience: use its controls, change its state and test the idea for yourself.
