Score-only pipelines
A failed grade without an approved replacement does not change behavior.
LLM evaluation
Define the rubric, evaluate responses and trajectories, capture the approved alternative, and compare a changed agent against a production-grounded baseline.
Dashboards and frameworks flag regressions. They rarely give the agent a better example to follow next time.
A failed grade without an approved replacement does not change behavior.
Packing every exception into the system prompt eventually weakens what already works.
Lab sets miss production tools, policies, and messy user language.
Reviewer fixes stay in tickets instead of becoming eval-ready experiences.
We connect LLM evaluation to retrieval-augmented human feedback: measure, correct, store outside weights, retrieve, re-measure.
Reconstruct traces and define success from your workflow—not a generic leaderboard.
Capture the trajectory or response that should replace the failure.
Compare task success, edits, escalations, latency, and cost on one focused flow.
An evaluation engagement must answer more than whether a model passed. It should establish what counts as success, how regressions are caught, and which evidence changes a release decision.
Define task-level success criteria, representative scenarios, and the mix of automated graders and human review needed for the workflow.
Version scenarios, prompt/tool changes, and expected outputs so a release can be compared to a stable baseline.
Bring real failures back into the set, then decide whether a correction belongs in retrieval, a prompt, a tool policy, or a future training run.

An evaluation engagement should decide what changes, not only assign a score.
Rubric design, production-trace scoring, human review, approved corrections, and a before/after comparison on one workflow.
Use automated graders for volume; use humans for policy, tool judgment, and ambiguous trajectories.
OpenTelemetry exports, conversation logs, ticket threads, and tool-call traces with version metadata.
Failure clusters, rubric scores, corrected examples, baseline comparison, and a rollout recommendation.
LLM evaluation can focus on responses; agent evaluation must also score tools, state, recovery, and escalation.
Versioned rubric, scored sample, approved replacements, and a clear release decision for the scoped workflow.
Reusable resource
A CSV scoring template for task outcome, tools, state, recovery, escalation, safety, cost, and latency.
Illustrative template—not client data. Adapt it to your policies, privacy controls, and approval process.
Failure and opportunity analysis with a rubric tied to your definition of success.
Corrected experience dataset + retrieval prototype for one production flow.
Blinded quality review and a clear rollout recommendation.
We do not promise lift before examining the workflow. The first engagement exists to produce measured evidence.
This page describes less than three’s production-trace review method: reconstruct failures, capture human-approved corrections, store them outside model weights, and measure whether scoped retrieval improves a defined workflow.

No. Approved corrections stay outside model weights and can be retrieved at runtime. Fine-tuning can still complement the system for stable, common behavior.
A sample of production traces or conversation exports for one workflow, plus a working definition of success for that workflow.
We compare a fixed baseline against a changed agent on the same workflow using task success, edits, escalations, latency, and cost where available.
Bring a sample of production failures. We will map patterns and propose one Agent Improvement Sprint.
