According to Deloitte, by 2027, 50% of enterprises will be leveraging AI agent systems to make critical decisions and execute essential tasks. But implementing these systems alone is not enough. Real success lies in deploying AI agents that are reliable, scalable, and fully aligned with business objectives.

At Epoch, we see AI agent development not simply as a matter of software engineering, but as a pathway to creating sustainable business value, improving efficiency, and elevating operational excellence.

Why AI Agent Evaluation is a Critical Step

AI agents are no longer just code or automation tools. They have become digital partners, embedded in business processes and responsible for driving decisions and actions at every level.
This makes traditional software testing insufficient. It’s no longer about answering the question: “Does it work?” — the real focus must be: “How does it work? Does it align with business goals? Can we trust the output it provides?”

This is where agent evaluation becomes essential. Epoch’s evaluation framework provides deep, structured analysis in key areas:

• Output quality: The accuracy, tone, structure, and alignment of information with business objectives and organizational culture

• Tool usage: The agent’s ability to select and use the right tools and sources effectively

• Planning and task execution: How well the agent follows its intended plan and executes tasks in compliance with business rules

• Real-world scenario readiness: Consistency and performance across a wide range of realistic use cases

Agent Scoring and Continuous Improvement

The next step in the evaluation process is scoring. Epoch’s agent scoring model clearly identifies each agent’s strengths and areas for improvement.
Performance is assessed not only against technical benchmarks, but also in terms of business alignment, risk management, and contribution to customer experience.
Through this approach, enterprises can:

• Minimize risk by detecting potential issues before production

• Optimize resources by focusing on the most critical areas for improvement

• Maintain quality standards through consistent performance thresholds

• Build transparency and confidence in production readiness
