Course lesson · Lesson 6

Evaluation, Verification, and Evidence

Build evaluation and verification into agentic workflows so outputs are backed by evidence rather than assertion.

What you'll take away

Define evaluation across four levels — correctness, fitness, safety, and reliability — before running a workflow.
Set success, failure, and uncertainty criteria in advance, rather than after seeing the output.
Build an evidence trail (logs, traces, rejection reasons) that lets another human audit how a result was produced.
Keep generation and judgment independent so a system never certifies its own output.
