## Quote
> "Essentially, you are stacking the liabilities of all your agentic primitives right now because you have to compose so much of this layer by hand."

Captures the multiplicative-reliability warning of [[concept-compounding-failure]] (0.95^5 ≈ 77%) and frames the strategic urgency of building the missing [[concept-layer-6-orchestration]] layer.
