Example of Task Decomposition: Customer Churn Delegation
An overarching goal such as "fix our customer churn" cannot be delegated directly to an AI agent because deciding what actions to take requires strategic human judgment. To make the work delegable, a manager decomposes the goal into a bounded task with a clear definition of done, such as "summarize the last two quarters of cancellation surveys by reason code."
