Problems this area addresses
- AI output reviewed by intuition instead of anchored criteria
- Agent changes shipped without task-level regression evidence
- Safety claims that lack linked evidence
- Action records that are too inconsistent for later review

AI Evaluation & Quality Control
AI evaluation and quality control replaces informal judgment with repeatable rubrics, task suites, run records, regression gates, and evidence that supports review decisions.
Who it is for: AI quality leads, agent engineers, reviewers, agencies, and teams gating changes before release.
Recommended evaluation path
Use scorecards for output-level review and the evaluation harness suite for agent task and regression testing. Add audit trails for action evidence and safety cases or readiness checks when evaluation supports a deployment decision.

- Start with: AI Output Quality-Control Scorecard System A quality-control system for AI output: scorecards by content type, a 0-5 rubric library, pass/fail gate definitions, review workflow SOPs, and agent self-review instructions.
- Add: Agent Evaluation Harness Suite A written evaluation system for agents: task-suite/run-record/gate-config JSON schemas, six anchored rubric families, written regression gates, and worked evaluations.
- Choose this specialist option: Agent Audit Trail Generator A written audit-trail standard for agent actions: an 8-class action taxonomy, per-class JSON entry schemas, append-only integrity rules (tamper-evident, honestly not tamper-proof), redaction rules, and sampling plans.
Choose a bundle when: several exact members independently fit. Start with Agent Operator Core Bundle, or use Agent Evaluation vs Output Quality Control for a guided comparison.
