Compare reliability approaches

Choose the right layer for the failure you need to catch.

Evals, dashboards, and traces are useful — but they do not prove that the expected data landed in your stores.

Offline evals vs. real stored-state gates

Offline evals help you measure model or agent quality before deployment.

AgentSkeptic checks whether a real workflow produced the expected stored state before you ship, bill, or continue.

Observability dashboards vs. pre-action gates

Dashboards help you investigate what happened after a workflow ran.

AgentSkeptic gives you a deterministic gate before the result reaches customers, revenue, or downstream systems.

Trace-only review vs. read-only verification

Traces show what the agent and tools reported.

AgentSkeptic re-reads your stores to verify whether those claims match reality.
