The Algorithm Stack for Agentic Organizations: 10 Essential Algorithms Mapped to a 7-Layer Architecture

Beyond generative AI: a practical computational substrate for self-governing enterprises

An agentic company is not built on generative AI alone. We present 10 core algorithms across language, tabular prediction, state-transition control, graph structure, and anomaly detection, organized into a 7-layer architecture for enterprise governance workloads.

Multi-Armed Bandits for Enterprise Strategy Optimization: Thompson Sampling, UCB, and Contextual Bandits in Agentic Organizations

How exploration-exploitation algorithms form the fifth layer of the agentic company architecture

Enterprises continually face the exploration-exploitation dilemma: whether to exploit known strategies or test potentially better alternatives. This paper formalizes multi-armed bandits as the Exploration Layer (Layer 5), covering Thompson sampling with Beta priors, UCB confidence bounds, contextual bandits for personalized decisions, and Bayesian optimization for business hyperparameter tuning. We provide enterprise-oriented regret analysis and describe integration with the MARIA OS strategy engine.
