Agent economics

Draft from

Estimating the maximum cost of an agent run

Model the spending limit of an agent workflow, including retries, with a worked example and an interactive calculator.

Method draft · Illustrative ceiling · Review pending

Two review paths converge on one release revision.

Release review

Draft from

Reviewing the version that will ship

Trace how review evidence and approval attach to the exact version being released.

Method draft · Public evidence extract pending

Two event timelines have an offset and an uncertain pairing.

Evidence quality

Draft from

When the timestamps ran ahead

Five record pairs show what can be compared between an agent’s time estimates and repository timestamps.

Case draft · Event pairing review pending

In the tested workflow, the record saved, but the connected list omitted it.

Workflow reliability

Work dated

Does the workflow work after the form saves?

A saved record failed to appear in the connected list in the Allegory benchmark. A second check exposed a sorting gap.

Engineering case summary · Synthetic workflow · Public evidence review pending

A visible citation and a passage supporting a specific claim are shown as separate checks.

AI citations

Work dated

What makes an AI citation useful?

A 53-entry source register and 24 bilingual query concepts underpin separate checks for visibility and claim support.

Study plan summary · Query tests proposed · Public evidence review pending

The current record links back to its source and retains the superseded version.

Agent memory

Work dated

When can an agent reuse what it remembers?

A proposed design for tracking a claim’s source, revision history and the permissions to act on it or share it.

Proposed method summary · Implementation and validation pending

Three ascending levels depict offline checks, matched comparisons and randomized trials.

Experiment design

Work dated

How should a small team test a change?

A measurement review connects decisions to offline checks, matched comparisons and randomized trials.
