The Cassandra Files — forensic audio drama. Katie audits the books, Marcus kills the spin, Killian opens the file. About · Latest · Themes

THE FILE

It is 31 August 2026, and the ledger is bleeding in the dark. We open the file on Salesforce and the structural shift of Agentforce. The enterprise promised a frictionless autonomous workforce, but the audit trail reveals a compounding debt of synthetic labor.

THE THEME

Welcome to Agentic Autonomy. The motif of the quarter is the phantom meter. We are tracking "Agent Drift"—the widening chasm between the work a machine is billed to do and the endless loops it actually spins. When the cost per autonomous task is hidden inside a black box, efficiency becomes a ghost story sold to boardrooms.

THE ROOM

Katie has her pen poised over the solvency reports, while Marcus traces the tremors of a fabricated billing facade. They are waiting in the humid shadows of the studio. Step inside and hit play.
