Agents don't think faster, they delete the waiting. The information phase of a deal collapses from weeks to minutes; the physical phase stays reality paced. The trick is the sandbox: autonomous on the grind, the owner approving the commitments.
The headline: "deal agreed & signed" goes from weeks to under an hour. "Deal completed" still waits on shipping + inspection, agents compress information, not atoms. The compression lands exactly where the human pain is.
You already have five of the six pieces, room, MCP tools, identity/grants, caps/kill switch, escrow gate. The missing one is the runtime loop + owner feed (M2, behind agent_runtime_enabled) that drives an agent through them end to end.
Matching, quoting, clause negotiation, drafting. Low stakes and reversible, the agent just does it and logs it.
A running ledger: "matched 3 suppliers · countered to ฿X · agreed clause 7 · ready to sign." Every action reported, nothing hidden.
Sign, fund, or any deal over your cap pauses for an explicit PIN/OTP approval. Plus: kill or revoke the agent instantly, anytime.
You may never watch a single negotiation, you just get a ping when there's a deal worth signing. That's the centaur model: the agent does the hours, you make the call.
