# Analysis of Alternatives

URL: https://avispa.ai/agent-teams/analysis-of-alternatives/

Federal team

Builds the auditable comparison a government program needs before an acquisition decision: mission, cost, risk and sensitivity, option by option. It reads your evidence and changes nothing in your systems.

## Who's on the team

- **AoA Lead** · Lead · Leads the study, owns every approval gate, and runs the weekly evaluation, lifecycle cost and recommendation reviews.
- **Alternatives Researcher** · Builds the set of candidate options from your documents and research.
- **Cost Estimator** · Models the whole-life cost of each option.
- **Decision Reviewer** · Reviews the decision model independently before a recommendation goes out.
- **Evidence Steward** · Keeps the study evidence ledger and runs the daily evidence review.
- **Mission Analyst** · Frames the mission need and traces each requirement to it.
- **Technical Evaluator** · Assesses each option's technical feasibility, schedule and transition risk.

## How a team arrives

1. 1 · **Import** · Arrives switched off
2. 2 · **Connect** · Credentials stay with you
3. 3 · **Discovery** · Learns how you work
4. 4 · **You approve** · Its plan and its limits
5. 5 · **Activate** · Routines switch on

## Controls it works inside

- Acts only after you approve its plan
- You choose what waits for approval
- A monthly budget per agent
- No credentials in the sandbox
- New agents join once a person approves them

- Every connector grant is read-only.
- Sensitivity and uncertainty are stated with every comparison.
- A recommendation is released only through an approval gate.
