01
Prompt or model changes produce unpredictable side effects
The final answer may look acceptable while delegation, tool use, cost, or policy behavior regresses.
Evaluation service
Swarm Evaluation & Release Gates
Measure the system that emerges between agents—not only the quality of a final answer. Make coordination, policy, recovery, and human-review behavior release criteria.

Triggers
Use this service when
The engagement is appropriate when one or more of these conditions is blocking a decision.
02
The team cannot reproduce a failed run
State, messages, tool results, model versions, and policy decisions are not captured together.
03
Human reviewers disagree without calibration
Review criteria and escalation thresholds are implicit or inconsistent.
What the engagement does
Scope and client-owned artifacts
The scope is narrowed to one decision boundary and a representative system slice.
- Representative scenario and failure-mode design
- Versioned fixtures, expected constraints, and evidence labels
- Task, coordination, policy, cost, latency, and recovery metrics
- Trace capture and deterministic replay where feasible
- Human-review rubric and calibration sessions
- Release scorecard, thresholds, exceptions, and ownership
- CI/CD or release-process integration for the bounded workflow
How the work proceeds
Delivery sequence
Each step can narrow the next one as evidence changes the system understanding.
Define representative work
Select normal, edge, adversarial, degraded, and recovery scenarios.
Instrument the swarm
Capture agent state, messages, tool calls, policy results, cost, latency, and outcomes.
Measure system behavior
Score task quality and the coordination process that produced it.
Calibrate human review
Align reviewers on evidence, severity, acceptable variance, and escalation.
Gate releases
Block, narrow, or approve changes using explicit thresholds and signed exceptions.
Boundaries
Commercial boundaries
Explicit inclusions and exclusions keep the engagement decision-focused.
Included
Inside the boundary
Work that is expected within the agreed system and decision scope.
- One bounded workflow and release process
- Versioned scenarios and metrics
- Human-review calibration
- Release integration
Excluded
Outside the boundary
Work that requires a separate decision, scope, authority, or engagement.
- Universal benchmark claims
- Guarantee of model correctness
- Certification or compliance attestation
- Evaluation without access to representative behavior
Start with a bounded decision
Scope the smallest system that can prove the decision.
Bring public-safe context about the workflow, agents, data, tools, authority, current evidence, and decision date.
