- Fine-tuning (custom Claude model)
- Agent types: Analyzer, Linker, Tester, Reviewer

**Success Metrics:**
- Accuracy: 90%+
- Performance: <2s for complex queries
- Scalability: 100+ concurrent agents

### Phase 6: Performance & Optimization (Weeks 11-12, 80 hours)
**Goal:** Production-ready system

**Deliverables:**
- Database optimization
- API optimization
- Cost tracking (FinOps)
- Monitoring dashboards
- Performance dashboards
