AI agents caught their own mistake: the revenue was a third too high

It was about a Thai massage salon in Leeuwarden, the first salon of Sawasara, the fictional company from my book The Autonomous AI Company. For that salon we let the agents do the research, one round deeper than the first time: twelve competitors and their prices, 92 commercial premises for rent, eleven ways to finance it, the rules on the official pages of the government and the municipality, and what the banks write about the sector.
Then they reviewed their own work critically. In the first round a price including VAT went into the budget as a price without VAT. That put the revenue about a third too high. And under the rent the salon can carry, only one premises fits, 3.5 kilometres outside the centre.
Everything comes together in a dossier with a decision page. The agents prepare, a person decides.

You keep picking the recommended option. You'd be better off doing something else.
Work with agents for a few weeks and you end up clicking the same button all day.
