Evaluation & Guardrails
Forward Deployed Eval Engineers, policy controls, and human-in-the-loop from day one.
Evaluation and guardrails embed Forward Deployed Eval Engineers with continuous testing, policy enforcement, and human-in-the-loop oversight — keeping agents accurate, safe, and compliant in production.
What this accelerator delivers.
Agents that ship without evaluation fail in production. Accuracy degrades as data shifts; policy violations go undetected until audit; and teams discover too late that agents cannot be trusted. This accelerator embeds Forward Deployed Eval Engineers (FDEEs) with eval harnesses, policy controls, and human-in-the-loop oversight from day one — so agents stay accurate, safe, and compliant long after go-live. Evaluation is not a gate before launch — it is continuous operational discipline. FDEEs run test suites against real scenarios, monitor drift, enforce policy boundaries, and escalate to human reviewers when confidence drops. For regulated industries, this capability is the difference between agents that pass audit and agents that get shut down. It pairs directly with managed AI monitoring for complete operational assurance.

Frequently asked questions
- What is an FDEE?
- A Forward Deployed Eval Engineer specialises in evaluation, guardrails, and continuous testing — keeping production agents accurate, safe, and compliant after go-live.
- Is evaluation only done before go-live?
- No. Evaluation is continuous — FDEEs monitor accuracy, detect drift, and enforce policies throughout the agent lifecycle.
- How are guardrails configured?
- Policy controls are aligned to your regulatory context — defining boundaries, escalation rules, and human-in-the-loop triggers for each agent workflow.
- Can evaluation integrate with our compliance framework?
- Yes. Eval harnesses and reporting are designed to produce audit-ready evidence for your existing compliance and risk frameworks.
