Workload

Definition

A workload is a complete stream of business work that a Marshal agent owns end to end, defined by an event your business already recognizes: a lead, a ticket, an invoice, a booked meeting. It is the job you hire an agent to do.

A workload is the thing you hand to Marshal and the thing you pay for. It is not a feature, a seat, or a fraction of someone's day. Inbound lead handling is a workload: every inbound lead answered, enriched, routed, followed up until it books or dies, logged, and reported. All of it, every time, with nothing left over for a person to remember.

We call it a job because that is how you already think about it. When work grows past what your team can carry, you write a job posting: a bundle of duties one hire will own. A Marshal workload is that bundle. Pick the job, get the agent.

A workload is made of workflows. The big workflows do the visible work; the small ones (the pipeline report, the CRM hygiene, the logging) come included, because a stream of work is only owned if the annoying parts are owned too.

One agent runs one workload.
