Case study533 agent actions scored, zero labeled examples

Cut the agent cost and improve the quality by evaluation.

Generic benchmarks can't capture your data, workflows, or internal agents. We score your agents step by step on your own datasets and production traces — so you see where they break, not just whether the final answer looks right.

From a real engagementOn a real enterprise IT-support agent, the smart router cut invented facts to 11% of conversations, down from 15% with a fixed model. Wasted actions fell to 2%, from up to 7%. See how we measured it

We measureIs the agent producing high-quality results?

  1. t0 · baseline

    Measure performance and robustness

    Evaluate agents and LLM-powered applications across large volumes of internal data, including production traces.

  2. t1 · change

    Understand the impact of changes

    Use our evaluation framework to compare results before and after changing a model, agent framework, or configuration.

  3. t2 · production

    Track performance in production

    Keep measuring quality as users, inputs, and use cases evolve.

What we measure on every step

  • Groundedness

    Did the agent stick to the facts it retrieved — or invent names, dates, and ticket statuses?

  • Efficiency

    No repeated lookups, no calls it did not need.

  • Adaptability

    When a tool fails or returns nothing, the agent recovers instead of giving up.

  • Goal alignment

    Every step serves what the user actually asked for.

Evaluation that fits your data and workflow

High-quality evaluation can be difficult to build and maintain. We help you:

  1. Evaluate with little or no human-labeled data

    Not enough time or specialist resources to label large datasets? We use evaluation methods that work without a single labeled example — or that make the most of a small set.

  2. Continuously evaluate in production

    Monitor quality against real usage and adapt your evaluation as your agents and use cases evolve.

  3. Work safely with sensitive traces

    Production traces contain personal data. We can evaluate inside your environment, work under your NDA, and redact PII before anything is judged.

03 Case study

A 5× cheaper engine, every trade-off measured

How we scored 136 real support conversations and 533 assistant actions step by step, with no labeled examples to check against — and what it revealed about quality, cost, and speed.

No single winner. The trade-offs between quality, cost, and speed are real — and now quantified.

A named defect. The judges caught replies addressed to the wrong person — an engineering fix, not a research problem.

~60 actions where judges disagreed, handed to human reviewers instead of averaged away.
