Assignment
Use ten synthetic support questions with complete, missing, or conflicting evidence. Start with fake search results.
Build sequence
- Draw the fixed sequence and identify exactly which decisions need model judgment.
- Implement the fixed baseline and a version that can refine one search.
- Define success, partial, and failed states with explicit stop reasons.
- Compare both designs on all ten cases.
Acceptance checks
- Every path terminates within the declared budget.
- The agent cannot access tools unrelated to the task.
- The comparison explains where autonomy helped and where the fixed workflow was sufficient.
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.
