AI Agent Evaluation FrameworkProduction AI partner
AI agent evaluation framework for business workflows.
Agent quality cannot be measured only by whether the final answer sounds good. A useful evaluation framework checks whether the agent used the right sources, called the right tools, escalated uncertainty, respected permissions, and produced work that humans can accept.

Reader fit
Built for teams turning AI ideas into production decisions.
Product, operations, finance, healthcare, and engineering teams preparing agent pilots or reviewing an existing AI workflow.
Evaluate the workflow, not only the model output.
Track source use, tool calls, refusals, escalations, and reviewer edits.
Use acceptance criteria tied to the business task before expanding the agent.
Guide
The practical checks.
01
Separate answer quality from workflow quality
A final answer can look polished even when the agent skipped a required source, used the wrong tool, or should have escalated. Evaluation should score the intermediate steps as well as the final output.
For business workflows, the evaluation set should include successful cases, missing-source cases, permission-boundary cases, and examples where the correct behavior is to refuse or route to a human.
02
Score source use and tool behavior
Track whether the agent retrieved the right documents, cited the right source, called approved tools in the right order, and avoided actions outside the pilot scope.
For finance, healthcare, and operations work, a useful agent log should make it possible to inspect what the agent saw, what it produced, what it changed, and what a reviewer edited.
03
Measure human review and business outcomes
Reviewer edits are one of the most useful early signals. Track which fields were changed, which outputs were rejected, which cases were escalated, and where the agent created more work.
The business metric should match the workflow: cycle time, queue aging, false positives, missed signals, acceptance rate, rework, or staff time saved.
Checklist
Use this before you scope the first build.
02
Create examples for success, missing context, bad sources, permission limits, and escalation.
03
Score retrieval, tool calls, final output, refusal behavior, and reviewer edits separately.
04
Log source use, tool inputs, generated outputs, and human changes.
05
Track the business metric that determines whether the pilot should expand.
06
Review failures weekly before adding new tools or broader autonomy.
