Quick Assessment
| Question | Level 0 | Level 3 | Level 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Do you use multiple LLM providers? | No | Yes, via gateway | Auto-selected per task |
| How do you track LLM costs? | Not tracked | Per-model tracking | Real-time optimization |
| Do you use memory across sessions? | No | Basic context | Temporal knowledge graphs |
| How are workflows documented? | Not documented | Written guides | Self-documenting agents |
| Agent orchestration? | None | Manual chains | Multi-agent mesh |
