This tension between architecture diagrams and funding realities is spot on. The "who signs the PO" question is usually where these multi-system agent strategies collapse. Seen this play out where the data platform team builds the context layer, app owners refuse to fund agents they don't control, and IT ends up with unfunded mandates for governance. The audit trail requirements around cross-system actions are gonna force alot of architectures to get way more explicit about delegation and authorization boundaries.
