Historical note
This entry describes the earlier Rick/Greg workflow. Those agent identities are retired. It is preserved as historical context, not an Active experiment or a description of the studio’s current team.
What the record supports
The May 2026 work separated research from implementation. Greg was the analyst identity; Rick was the operator identity. Their coordination record described intended responsibilities and publication boundaries.
The pattern was an operating hypothesis, not a controlled comparison proving that multiple agents outperform one. It also introduced handoff overhead. Today the useful principle is simply to distinguish what was found from what was built and checked.
Evidence and limits
This is a condensed retrospective of the original internal coordination note. No public run logs or independently reproducible trial are attached; do not treat it as a measured research result. The original source is retained outside the website build.
The current work index leads with inspectable software. The method explains what counts as evidence now.
