The client context travels with the work. Nobody re-briefs the AI. Nobody re-explains the client. It is how 1 account manager carries 18 to 25 accounts instead of 4 to 8.

Most agency account managers cap at 4 to 8 accounts before quality slips. The limit is usually context, not effort.

For an agency, it means the right client's strategy, rules and past decisions load before the AI writes a word, so the draft fits the client without a long prompt or a re-brief."},{slug:"context-repasting",name:"Context re-pasting (re-briefing)",description:"Copying client information into a fresh AI session over and over because no system holds the context between sessions.",body:"Context re-pasting is copying client information, brand voice, campaign specs and prior work into a fresh AI session over and over, because no system holds the context between sessions or between people.

The work is checked against the client's written rules. It is how AI output grows without losing judgment. Nothing ships without approval."},{slug:"orchestration-vs-automation",name:"Orchestration vs automation",description:"Automation follows fixed rules. Orchestration decides what should happen next using context.",body:"Automation follows fixed rules, like a Zapier or n8n flow.

It shows whether growth comes from more people or more output per person.",body:"Agency revenue per employee is annual revenue divided by total headcount. It shows whether growth comes from adding people or from more output per person. Raising accounts per person is the most direct way to raise it.

It turns 1 play into a skill that runs on every client account.",body:"The Capacity Loop is the AGL install method for Portable Delivery Intelligence. 5 steps in the same order: Leak Map, Capture Pass, Bookend Rule, Done Card, Refill.

Your best person does a Repeat task once for 1 real client while recording screen and voice. The transcript becomes numbered steps, and those steps become a skill any AI tool can run for any client."},{slug:"bookend-rule",name:"Bookend Rule",description:"Step 3 of the Capacity Loop: a person owns the first and last 10% of every deliverable, and AI does the 80% between.",body:"The Bookend Rule is step 3 of the Capacity Loop. A person owns the first 10% of every deliverable, picking the client and setting the goal, and the last 10%, reviewing and approv

Judgment stays with people."},{slug:"done-card",name:"Done Card",description:"Step 4 of the Capacity Loop: 4 to 6 yes or no checks that say what finished work looks like, written before the work starts.",body:"A Done Card is step 4 of the Capacity Loop. It lists 4 to 6 yes or no checks that say what finished work must contain, which client rules it must pass, when it is due and where it gets logged. It is written before the work starts, so the AI can hit it and the approver can check it."},{slug:"refill",name:"Refill",description:"Step 5 of the Capacity Loop: freed hours go to new client accounts, tracked as accounts per account manager every week.",body:"Refill is step 5 of the Capacity Loop. The hours the loop frees go to new client accounts, not new busywork. Teams track accounts per account manager every Friday, and run the loop on the next play once that number rises and first-pass approval holds."},{slug:"capacity-guarantee",name:"The Capacity Guarantee",description:"If Portable Delivery Intelligence is not live and running on real accounts, Agile Growth Labs keeps building at no added cost until it is.",body:"The Capacity Guarantee: Agile Growth Labs installs Portable Delivery Intelligence and puts a trained operator on live client work in days.
