Agent Evaluation & QA

Scores every AI interaction and blocks regressions before they reach production.

100% of interactions scored, with regressions blocked in CI

The problem. Most enterprises cannot answer a simple board question: is the AI getting better or worse? Without evaluation, every prompt change is a gamble taken in production.

The agent maintains graded evaluation sets from real traffic, scores every production interaction, and reports quality by intent, cohort and release.

It gates deployment: a prompt, model or tool change that regresses the evaluation set does not ship.

Drift, refusal spikes and grounding failures raise alerts with example transcripts attached.

Before

Quality is judged by spot checks and complaints, and nobody can prove whether last week's change helped.

After

Quality is a tracked metric with a release gate, and regressions are caught before customers see them.

Reference architecture

Where this agent sits in the stack.

From sampled manual review to scored coverage of every interaction, with calibration and appeal built in.

Quality & coachingSystems of record
  1. 01

    Quality & coaching workspace

    Scorecards, coaching queues, calibration sessions and agent-visible feedback with dispute handling.

  2. 02

    Scoring & evaluation

    LLM scoring against your rubric, confidence thresholds, sampling for human calibration and drift detection per model version.

  3. 03

    Transcription & redaction

    Speech-to-text across languages and channels, with PII/PCI redaction before evaluation and storage.

  4. 04

    Interaction capture

    Recordings, transcripts, screen and metadata drawn from the CCaaS platform and recording estate.

  5. 05

    CCaaS, WFM & systems of record

    Quality outcomes flowing into WFM, performance management and reporting.

Integration surface

  • Agent runtime and prompt/version registry
  • CI/CD pipeline
  • Interaction and transcript analytics
  • Human QA tooling for calibration

Guardrails & human oversight

  • Human calibration sets the standard the automated scorer is measured against.
  • Release gates are enforced in the pipeline, not by convention.
  • Every action outside policy stops at a reviewer queue with the agent's reasoning, evidence and proposed change attached.
  • Evaluation sets are refreshed from real traffic on a schedule so they do not go stale.

What has to be true first

  • Access to production transcripts or traces.
  • A human QA baseline to calibrate against.
  • A CI/CD pipeline the gate can hook into.

Security, data & compliance

  • Runs under a dedicated service identity with least-privilege, per-tool scopes — never a shared admin account.
  • Customer and employee data stays inside your tenancy and region; no training on your data by default.
  • PII is redacted before it reaches a model, and prompts, responses and tool calls are retained under your retention policy.
  • Every tool call, input, decision and system write is logged and replayable for audit and model-risk review.
Rollout

How this agent reaches production.

  1. Weeks 1–2 · Scope

    Quality dimensions defined, calibration baseline, evaluation-set design.

  2. Weeks 3–6 · Build

    Scoring, dashboards, drift alerting and the CI release gate.

  3. Weeks 7–10 · Production pilot

    One agent under full evaluation with weekly calibration.

  4. Quarter 2+ · Scale & run

    All production agents under one quality regime with monthly reporting.

Measurement plan

What we agree to be measured on.

Ranges drawn from comparable production engagements. Your baseline is agreed before build starts, and the same numbers are reported after go-live.
