Evals & A/B Connecting…
Proof, graded by rules written before the test
Two kinds of evidence: evaluations of the decision agent (does it only ever name catalog IDs, never a critical route?), and a pre-registered A/B where identical benign traffic runs through an unmanaged copy of the portal and a Breakglass-managed one.
ProblemA demo that grades itself proves nothing.
SolutionAgent evals plus an A/B whose scoring rule was committed before the first run.
Why it mattersJudges and buyers can check the rule wasn't tuned to the result.
How it's usedRead the hash, open the commit, compare the two lanes.
Pre-registered A/B
Passed- Scoring rule
eval/AB-PREREGISTRATION.md- Written down
- The scoring rule was written down before the first run (
eval/AB-PREREGISTRATION.md); the failed first run stays in the record. - The rule
- PASS iff: managed probes that got through = 0; unmanaged probes that got through > 0; managed patient journeys passed ≥ unmanaged; managed 5xx on critical routes = 0. Anything else FAIL; every run is listed.

| AB-002 03:12:34 UTC | Pass | PASS: managed probes through: 0 (must be 0); unmanaged probes through: 40 (must be > 0); journeys passed 12 vs 12; managed critical 5xx: 0 |
| AB-001 03:10:14 UTC | Fail | FAIL: unmanaged probes through: 0 (must be > 0) Scored with a scorer bug: it also required the origin's status to be below 400, which is not in the pre-registration; the twin answers anonymous probes with 401 after they reach it, so the unmanaged lane looked safe. Kept as scored (FAIL). The scorer was fixed to the written rule before AB-002. |
