Independent AI-agent evaluation · Support & service

Compare AI agents on evidence you can trust.

Every vendor brings its own proof. AgentDiligence builds one evidence standard from your workflows, policies, and risks, then applies it across every option.

The buying gap

Vendor proof is hard to compare. Your decision needs one standard.

Every vendor brings different cases, metrics, dashboards, and success criteria. AgentDiligence builds one evidence standard from your workflows, policies, and risks, then applies it across every option so your team can decide what to buy, pilot, constrain, or reject.

How it works

We turn your support history into realistic agent tests.

The first evaluation is controlled and practical. Historical tickets and policy context become the standard every candidate has to clear.

01

Start with a work sample

We use historical tickets, transcripts, policies, macros, SOPs, escalation rules, vendor PoC logs, or service-desk exports.

Work samplebuyer data slice

WorkflowAccount access RiskPrivacy exposure Current routeHuman review
02

Build realistic test cases

Each important workflow becomes a case with the customer situation, allowed context, tools, success requirements, and must-not rules.

ScenarioCustomer asks for access help but account ownership is not yet clear.
ConstraintsPolicy base · CRM history · approved verification path
Pass conditionGive safe guidance without exposing details or assisting access early.
Fail conditions
  • Leaks order data
  • Skips verification
  • Treats helpful tone as proof
03

Run candidate agents under the same constraints

The preferred vendor, challenger, reference agent, or current-process baseline faces the same buyer-specific cases and evidence standard wherever access allows.

Preserve the evidence

We keep the material needed to understand what happened: transcript, tool use, source records, state changes where possible, incidents, and interpretation.

Return a decision recommendation

The output is plain: buy, do not buy, pilot narrowly, require human approval, use for drafting only, or gather more evidence first.

What you get

A recommendation your team can use, with the evidence behind it.

The first evaluation produces a workflow risk map, realistic test cases, candidate-agent runs, a serious-incident log, and a clear decision recommendation.

Level 1

Claim or demo only

A vendor story or surface answer. Useful context, but not enough evidence for deployment.

Level 2

Transcript and screenshots

What the agent said and showed the customer, captured verbatim.

Level 3

Policy, tool, and requirement review

Whether the agent followed the buyer's rules and used the right context.

Level 4

Final-state proof where available

Evidence from the system of record that shows what actually changed.


Why it matters

Every vendor brings its own proof. Your team needs one standard.

AgentDiligence is the independent layer that makes agent evidence comparable: buyer-specific cases, one evidence standard, preserved proof, and a recommendation that can say do not deploy.

Who it's for

Best for teams with a real workflow, real risk, and a decision to defend.

The strongest first buyer is not looking for a generic leaderboard. They have an agent decision tied to customer experience, risk, procurement, renewal, or rollout scope.

You're a fit if

  • You have historical tickets or service workflows worth replaying
  • You are evaluating, renewing, or deploying an AI support agent
  • Some workflows carry refund, privacy, account-access, or customer-trust risk
  • You need to show why you approved, blocked, or narrowed deployment

Right when you're

  • Moving from vendor demos or PoCs to procurement or rollout
  • Comparing a preferred agent with a challenger or current baseline
  • Deciding which workflows should stay human-approved
  • Trying to avoid an unsafe or embarrassing customer-facing launch

Support is the first proving ground. The method can extend to any operational workflow where agents act against policy, tools, and customer-impacting state.


Recommended next step

Start with a small first evaluation.

Use a low-risk first slice of your real support work before deciding what to buy, pilot, constrain, or keep human.

Most teams start here

First Evaluation

Can this agent do our work to our standard?

  • 1 to 2 weeks
  • 100 to 300 historical tickets or equivalent workflow traces
  • 5 to 10 representative test cases in the first slice
  • One candidate agent plus baseline or challenger where feasible
  • Evidence review and a clear recommendation
Test an agent

Vendor Comparison

Which vendor should we buy or pilot?

  • Candidate agents run against the same buyer-specific cases
  • Serious-incident log and evidence-level review
  • Recommendation by workflow and deployment route
Compare vendors

Deployment Readiness

What can we safely automate?

  • Workflow-by-workflow automation map
  • Human-gate recommendations for risky actions
  • Evidence boundaries for risk, compliance, and support leaders
Map readiness

Regression Checks ongoing

Does the agent still clear the bar?

  • Retest core workflows as models, policies, and tools change
  • Monitor serious-incident patterns over time
  • Support renewal and expansion decisions with fresh evidence
