NovaChip Semiconductor has decomposed a DRC Triage Agent workflow into 7 steps. 2 of 7 steps meet production-ready thresholds. Overall readiness is 44/100 (FAIR). Primary gaps are in entity resolution and source of truth, not necessarily in the AI models themselves. Overall governance risk: HIGH.
Data orchestration is the production layer between enterprise data and AI agent action.
The agent reasons. Data orchestration prepares, routes, validates, governs, and records what the agent is allowed to reason on - trusted data, approved rules, permissions, tools, approvals, logs, and rollback paths.

Each question maps to Prepare · Route · Validate · Govern · Record - gap rows link to KFix playbooks; live controls via KFix deploy + KCyber.
3 yes · 6 partial · 1 gap - spec in KAssess; live controls via KFix deploy + KCyber.
Each dimension scored 0-100 across all workflow steps. 80+ is production-ready; 70+ on audit & compliance readiness supports enterprise security reviews. Scores reflect uploaded artifacts and workflow context, platform-agnostic.
Agent risk register for DRC Triage Agent. Risk rated High / Medium / Low per dimension.
Recommendations prioritized by enterprise deal impact and production readiness lift. Effort: S (1-2 weeks) / M (2-4 weeks) / L (4-8 weeks).
What work is required and which roles typically own it. If you have these skills in-house, staff it internally, every item in this report can be executed by your team. TekCapitol is optional delivery support if you want help implementing.
Effort in person-months and person-days - fixed-scope deliverables, not a fractional hire recommendation.
Each row is a scoped deliverable with role, skills, and estimated effort. Staff in-house or with TekCapitol - your choice.
Person-months of effort (1.0 ≈ 20 working days). Scoped deliverables, not a headcount or hire recommendation.
Model routing, token estimates, cost projection, and human-in-the-loop gates per workflow step. Generated from your decomposed agent workflow.
6 of 7 steps need no LLM · 1 uses LLM
Based on recommended models and token estimates at 85 runs/day. List prices only; excludes caching, batch discounts, and platform fees.
Permission audit, compliance mapping, and kill-switch authority matrix, aligned to NIST AI RMF and SP 800-53.
Data quality alerts, LLM eval criteria, circuit breakers linked to kill-switch levels, ops runbook, and KPIs.
