An agent evaluation environment must freeze inputs, tools and an independent oracle, or the same message silently grades against two different answers.
Build an AI workflow baseline that counts setup, review and repair, separates elapsed time from human effort, and keeps the task mix comparable.
Evaluate model routes on ordinary tasks, missing data and policy conflicts, then set acceptance thresholds before comparing cost savings.
Learn to turn one failed agent run into an agent regression dataset that tests recovery without pretending to know the original cause.
