How to Scale from 5 to 50 ClawDBots Without Losing Control
A staged scaling playbook for growing from 5 to 50 ClawDBots while keeping queue quality and incident response stable.
Stage 1: Standardize before expanding
Before adding bots, standardize mission definitions, ownership rules, and escalation paths.
Scaling inconsistent workflows multiplies chaos faster than it increases output.
Stage 2: Introduce policy routing
As fleet size grows, policy-based routing becomes essential for balancing load and protecting critical workflows.
Manual queue triage is viable at 5 bots but breaks quickly near 20.
Stage 3: Build reliability automation
At higher scale, automate retries, fallback routes, and health-check-based traffic shaping.
Reliability automation preserves operator attention for exceptions and high-value decisions.
Stage 4: Institutionalize operations
Create a recurring operations rhythm with KPI reviews, incident analysis, and policy governance.
Institutional discipline is what turns temporary growth into durable operating advantage.
