What happened and what to do
Published on July 9, 2026, the article divides hierarchical search agents into delegation and execution roles and examines how to allocate model capacity. It identifies decomposition ability as the main performance bottleneck. Engineers building these agents can assess whether each role requires different capabilities.
A company can apply this analysis to a search workflow: map tasks and decomposition failures, compare delegation and execution quality, and define evaluation criteria for each stage. Based on the results, it can adjust the architecture, model selection, and agent monitoring.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose the search workflow and its bottlenecks, scope an implementation for the case, and support its operation with evaluations and monitoring.
