Arun Malik/Progressive Crystallization: Turning Agent Exploration into Deterministic, Lower-Cost Workflows in ProductionUnknown

AI agents deployed for IT operations are typically permanent cost centers because every execution requires full LLM inference, even for previously solved problems. This paper introduces progressive crystallization, a lifecycle that treats agent exploration as a discovery mechanism rather than a permanent execution model. It defines a three-stage execution taxonomy, from fully agent-orchestrated to hybrid to fully deterministic workflows, together with an evidence-based promotion mechanism that converts repeatedly validated agent behaviors into cheaper and more reproducible deterministic workflows, while automatically demoting workflows that regress. Evaluated on a production cloud networking AIOps system processing tens of thousands of incidents per month, the approach increased deterministic execution from 0% to 45% over eight months, reduced per-incident agent costs by more than 70% despite doubling incident volume, and improved safety through greater reproducibility and auditability. The paper also presents the execution taxonomy, promotion and demotion criteria, trace extraction methodology, economic model, safety considerations, and discusses limitations and threats to validity.
