A Trust Layer for Agent Evaluation
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.07274v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deterministic benchmark scores show that an agent received credit, but not whether that credit was earned, reported honestly, or would hold on a second run. We introduce a Trust Layer for Agent Evaluation, an additive post-hoc framework that reports, beside each recorded score, whether it should be believed. It verifies four properties: whether the result is supported by the benchmark's own grading logic, whether a passing answer was earned through traceable computation, whether the agent's completion claim matches what occurred, and whether the

Why it matters
“A Trust Layer for Agent Evaluation” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
