Adoption
Large organisations face a choice between a central team that becomes a queue and free-for-all adoption that becomes ungovernable. Neither works. The version that does looks like a platform team with sharp boundaries.

There are two standard approaches to rolling agents out across a large organisation, and both fail in ways that are visible from the start if you look.
One group owns all agent development. Governance is excellent, standards are consistent, and within four months they are a queue.
The team that understands the work best is the business unit, and they are now filing requests and waiting. Requests get prioritised, context gets lost in translation, and the business units that care most start building their own anyway, outside the governance the central team exists to provide.
The failure is not incompetence. It is that a central team cannot hold domain knowledge for twelve different domains.
Every unit builds what it wants. Adoption is fast, enthusiasm is high, and nobody can answer what is running.
By month six there are agents with no owner, duplicated effort across units solving the same problem three times, credentials in configuration files, and a cost line nobody can attribute. The first serious incident produces a reaction that halts everything.
A platform team that owns the rails, and business units that own the agents.
The platform team is responsible for the things that must be consistent: identity and credential handling, policy enforcement at the point of action, the audit trail, cost attribution, the evaluation harness, and the shared catalogue.
The business units are responsible for the things that require domain knowledge: what to automate, what good output looks like, who owns each agent, and whether it is still worth running.
The boundary is the useful part. A unit cannot opt out of attribution or audit, because those are properties of the platform rather than choices. A unit does not have to ask permission to build something, because building is not the constrained resource.
Three units solving the same problem separately is the most common waste in a large rollout, and it is entirely invisible without a shared place to look.
An internal catalogue where agents can be browsed, forked, published and rolled back turns that from duplicated effort into reuse. The second unit starts from the first unit's work and improves it, and the improvement flows back.
This is what the Agent Hub is for, and it is the part of a rollout most often deferred and most often regretted.
Central budget control recreates the queue in financial form. Per-unit budgets that block rather than warn give each unit real autonomy within a bounded exposure, and make the trade visible to the people best placed to judge it.
Ownership per agent, before the rollout rather than during it. Everything else can be retrofitted with effort. Ownership retrofitted across two hundred agents nobody remembers building is the worst project on this list.
The Agent Hub pages cover the shared catalogue, forking and versioning. The Agent Orchestration System pages cover attribution, policy and budgets, which are the rails a platform team owns.
