Agency Theory Economics as engineering operating evidence

Agency theory matters because people and systems do what incentives make easy.

If the buyer wants quality but the delivery model rewards hours, bodies, or volume, the math is already broken.

TeamStation uses the page to explain why incentives have to be engineered into the operating model. For CTOs and CIOs, the practical question is whether the team is aligned to outcomes, evidence, and ownership, or just activity.

LATAM teams can be a strong operating layer when incentives are clean, because the model is built around delivery behavior, not vendor theater.
