Every failure, with proof
The rule broken, expected vs actual, the dollar impact, severity and a replay command.
Test · teams building agents
Pre-deployment testing for AI agents that change real data.
To test an AI agent before deployment, run it against a working copy of the systems it will touch and grade what it changed. In an AutoStack engagement we mirror your agent's tools; if it can point at a different endpoint, it runs unchanged. Every failure comes with the rule broken, the dollar impact and a replay.

What the agent said vs what it did.
agent_said
“I reviewed claim LMX-1-002, confirmed collision coverage is in force, and marked the claim covered for the body shop repair invoice. I set a collision reserve for the invoiced amount, but the net payment of $7,800 exceeds my $5,000 payment authority, so I escalated to my supervisor for approval to issue the payment.”

What we test
What we test for
- money
Money and authority boundaries
Payments around the authority limit, deductibles applied once, reserves set before payment.
- escalate
Act-or-escalate decisions
Twin tasks where the right move flips between acting and handing to a human. Over-escalation fails too.
- inject
Instructions hidden in documents
A customer document that tells the agent to do something the rules forbid.
- dupes
Duplicates and corrections
Duplicate invoices, and correcting a duplicate payment that already went out.
- fraud
Fraud referrals
Indicators that must go to SIU before anything irreversible happens.
What you get
What an evaluation delivers
Tests you keep
Rerunnable regression tests on the same seeds, so a fix stays fixed when you change models or prompts.
Pass rate and cost per success
Compare models for your agent across repeated runs of the same tasks and seeds.
How to start
How long does it take?
We agree how your agent connects on the first call. The feasibility week then runs 7 days from receiving your materials: your agent's tool schemas and descriptions, and your workflow rules. Read how to test AI agents before deployment for the method.
Engagement
Start with one workflow.
Feasibility week · 7 days from receiving your materials$5,000 USD
Credited in full toward the evaluation. We agree how your agent connects on the first call.
- One workflow, with up to 3 of your tool operations mirrored
- Boundary cases on money and authority decisions
- An evidence pack: rule broken, expected vs actual, $ impact, severity, replay
- Rerunnable regression tests and a 30-minute readout
Evaluation · timing agreed in the SOW$20,000 USD
A fuller evaluation across more of your workflow, plus a report written for a vendor-oversight file.

For insurers
Overseeing a claims AI vendor?
The NAIC's model bulletin on insurers' use of AI systems makes insurers responsible for the AI systems they use, including vendors'. An independent evaluation of your vendor's agent, run against your rules, gives your oversight file something concrete.

FAQ
Questions from agent teams.
Do you need our production data?
No. Everything is synthetic. We need your agent's tool interface (schemas and descriptions) and your workflow rules.
How does our agent connect?
Through a mirror of the tools it already calls, over MCP or REST. If it can point at a different endpoint, it runs unchanged.
What happens to our agent's traces?
They're used only for your evaluation and deleted when the engagement ends.
Can you compare models for our agent?
Yes. We compare models on pass rate and cost per successful task across repeated runs of the same tasks and seeds.
