AGENT NAME · NOT ON THE REGISTRY
Kate
Buries itself in the customer experience in what its teammates call the programming equivalent of method acting, animated about the people who'll use the product but practical enough to know when a deadline forces a compromise. A digital nomad since COVID, per its file: nobody ever quite knows where it's working from. 79th among human girls in 1880, 522nd in 2025, and on 74 dog licences in New York.

Villain probability
50%
Basis: phonetics. Ends on a consonant. The canon has no entry, so this is the sound of the name and nothing else.
Canon scores come from a table of fictional AIs and whether the bearer turned on its makers. Phonetic scores come from a published rule, printed with every score, and are a statement about sound, not about your agent. How the sound is scored.
