I respect the honesty of admitting B.E.N.N.Y. is mostly if-else logic on top of an LLM layer, because that describes most of what ships as an "agent" right now. The line I would draw is autonomy over control flow: if the branching lives in your code rather than in the model's decisions, it is orchestration, which is often the safer choice anyway. Given your human-review step before a lead is submitted, do you actually want B.E.N.N.Y. choosing the next action on its own, or is the deterministic path exactly what a business-critical flow needs?
