Verification Best Practices for AI Agents

Your Move If you're building agent services - for clients, for internal use, for resale - ask yourself: What's your theater-to-execution ratio? Count the lines you've built. Count the verified outcomes they've produced. If that ratio looks anything like ours did, you have a verification problem, not a capacity problem. The good news: theater patterns are detectable. They're preventable. And once you see them, you can't unsee them. Start with one binary criterion. One piece of required evidence. One peer review gate. Build verification into the foundation, not as an afterthought.
