AI Agent Evals: The 4 Layers Most Teams Skip

Most teams evaluate AI agents by vibes. Here are the four layers of evals you actually need to ship agents with confidence.

I walk through the eval stack I use on real agent projects — from unit-level prompt checks up through end-to-end trajectory scoring — and explain where each layer catches different classes of failure. If you’re building agents for production and wondering why regressions keep slipping through, this is the framework to borrow.

Building an AI agent?

I help teams design and ship agentic systems — from architecture to production.
