Assignment
Use a fixed document set and ten questions. Define a researcher and a verifier with read-only tools and structured evidence outputs.
Build sequence
- Implement the single-agent baseline first.
- Define typed handoff records and reject incomplete findings.
- Run independent research tasks in parallel with bounded concurrency.
- Inject conflicting findings and measure reconciliation behavior and total usage.
Acceptance checks
- Conflicts remain visible until resolved or escalated.
- Parallel workers cannot overwrite each other’s evidence.
- The final report recommends multi-agent coordination only if the measured gain warrants its complexity.
Evidence to keep
Submit the working artifact or decision document described above, the inputs used, and the observed results for every acceptance check. Include one failed attempt and the change you made after investigating it. Label fixture-based outcomes separately from live-system measurements. These artifacts become part of your final portfolio review.
