Knowledge cutoff: September 2024
Nothing to act on today. The cost is the checking: someone has to remember to look again next month, and the month after. Coolhand watches this model for you and automatically updates your agents to the most compatible replacement the moment a retirement is announced — one less thing on your list, permanently.
