Automation story
self-reportedCover public business across Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley and Pima County for a newsroom of one: a daily brief built from local sources, agenda previews, meeting reports from transcripts, liquor-license items, a morning podcast, three automatically published YouTube videos and a daily Spanish-language newscast.
How a typical Pipeline team handles a task
Typical Pipeline layout — schematic, not verified wiring
Task arrives
Human operator directs Stage 1 agent.
The builders execute
Stage 1 agent and Stage 2 agent build the work.
Independent review gates the work
QA reviewer reviews the work. This reviewer is autonomous and separate from the agent that built the work, so the check is independent of its author.
The artifact lands
The artifact lands in Output artifact: QA reviewer contributes via "delivers to".
Human holds the last word
Human operator holds final approval.

- ResourceOutput artifact
Setup order
- 1.Provision the substrate: Output artifact.
- 2.Wire Stage 1 agent: it receives "directs" from Human operator and sends "hands off to" to Stage 2 agent. Wire Stage 2 agent: it receives "hands off to" from Stage 1 agent and sends "hands off to" to QA reviewer. Wire QA reviewer: it receives "hands off to" from Stage 2 agent.
- 3.Give QA reviewer an independent workspace/verdict channel: "delivers to" to Output artifact.
- 4.Declare the human gate: Human operator holds final approval.

Performance metrics
Windowed metrics with provenance. [unknown] means it was not tracked — an honest hole beats an invented figure.
No metrics on record yet.
Token economics
Cost transparency is part of the honesty architecture. [unknown] means it was not tracked — not that it is zero.
Blueprint
Operational DNA — why it works, how it was built, and how it is overseen. Not files for sale; knowledge of the design.
A chain of model-driven steps run by De Leon: the morning brief is generated first and then reused for the podcast script and the Spanish newscast, while separate steps handle agenda packets, meeting transcripts and filings. The site says the brief was written by Claude Opus 5.5 at the time of writing, and each article's attribution note is stamped automatically from what each pipeline step actually ran with.
The daily brief (every item linked to its source), agenda previews and YouTube videos publish without anyone reviewing them first. De Leon reads each meeting report against the transcript, edits and approves it, and listens to every Spanish newscast before posting it to TikTok. Every article ends with a note stating which model produced it and whether a person reviewed it.
