ALT Agent 101 issue 03 cover: “When an AI agent is wrong. What happens on the day it misreads a value.” An illustration shows two documents, with one line highlighted in red as an error. 2MR Labs logo.

ALT Diagram titled “How one error travels”: an invoice for 1,250.00 is read as 12,500.00. Step 1: the agent reads the invoice and misreads the amount as 12,500.00. Step 2: the accounts payable ledger records 12,500.00. Step 3: the monthly spend summary includes 12,500.00. Step 4: the cash forecast plans for 12,500.00. Steps 2 to 4 each worked correctly, but the amount should be 1,250.00. Caption: “Every later step worked. The number was wrong.” Illustrative example. 2MR Labs logo.

ALT Table titled “Where agents go wrong”. Wrong input: misreads a figure; safeguard: check against the source. Wrong reasoning: applies the wrong rule; safeguard: agent self-review and clear rules. Wrong action: acts where it should not; safeguard: human approval and action limits. Consistency: same question, different answers; safeguard: fixed rules and the same checks every run. 2MR Labs logo.

ALT Matrix titled “Where to put the human”, comparing impact with how easy an action is to undo. High impact, easy to undo: prepare and review, such as a monthly spend summary. High impact, hard to undo: a person approves first, such as releasing a payment. Low impact, easy to undo: act and sample, such as sorting enquiries. Low impact, hard to undo: set clear limits, such as notifications from approved templates. 2MR Labs logo.

ALT Infographic titled “Where enterprise AI stalls: five gaps a general AI assistant cannot close on its own.” 1. Confidential data ends up in public AI tools. 2. System access: no permission to read your ERP. 3. Compliance: may decline invoices and other sensitive documents. 4. Business logic: does not know your rules for reconciling systems. 5. Repeatability: same question, different answers. Highlighted box: Enterprise Private AI Deployment, where the AI runs in your own environment, reads only the systems you allow and works from your business rules. 2MR Labs logo.
