Why AI Success Metrics Become Business Rework: Measuring Real Delivery in Agent Triage

This article argues that technical success metrics for AI agents (like API success rates) misrepresent business value, and proposes a framework for measuring actual delivery: define qualified outcomes per pre-agreed contracts, fix the task denominator, track human effort and rework across auto/collaborative/escalation paths, and feed verified operational feedback into knowledge, model, and regression improvements.

Agent Workflow Runtime Governance: Classify Failures, Evidence Packages, and Escalation Paths

The article analyzes why agent workflows that succeed in demos fail in production, proposing a runtime governance framework that classifies failures into technical, data, business uncertainty, and controllable progression categories, mandates evidence-based human-in-the-loop with evidence packages, and defines a state machine with escalation paths for reliable execution.

Why External Content Must Not Override Agent Permissions: Defending Against Indirect Prompt Injection

This article analyzes how AI agents can be manipulated via indirect prompt injection hidden in external materials, and proposes a layered defense: distinguish source from authority, validate every execution step, bind confirmations to specific actions, and test with adversarial scenarios to ensure boundaries hold without breaking legitimate tasks.

Continuous GUI Verification: Ensuring Users Complete Tasks, Not Just Open Pages

This article presents a practical framework for continuous GUI verification in AI development, stressing end-to-end task completion over page rendering, correlating frontend feedback with backend results, isolating test data, making critical paths reproducible, and preserving failure evidence for debugging.

AI-Generated Ontologies: What Experts Must Review Beyond Syntax

This article outlines a structured review process for AI-generated ontology drafts, emphasizing that experts must verify business meaning, evidence sources, and high-risk judgments — not just technical correctness — and demonstrates how to trace rejections, revisions, and version-specific approvals using a supply-chain quality case study.

AI Code Review: Why Two Agents Miss the Same Bugs and How to Fix It

The article explains why simply adding a reviewer AI agent after a developer agent fails when both share requirement misunderstandings, and proposes a structured multi-agent review process: independent judgment against acceptance criteria first, automated mechanical checks, risk-based review division, actionable findings with trigger conditions and verification steps, reverse test validation via mutation and negative testing, and review conclusions tied to specific commits with expiration tracking.

Before AI Refactors Legacy Code: Lock Down These Behaviors First

The article outlines a safe approach for AI-assisted legacy refactoring: define behavioral baselines with stakeholders, capture repeatable test samples covering normal and edge cases, compare old and new outputs in isolation, refactor incrementally with continuous regression, and verify rollback compatibility for data and interfaces.

Organizing Maintenance Knowledge: Start from a Concrete Work Order, Not Document Piles

The article describes a methodology for organizing maintenance knowledge by starting from a specific work order, distinguishing regulatory requirements, system records, and expert experience, preserving provenance with W3C PROV, building a judgment basis checklist, modeling with OPM, and validating with independent work orders to ensure traceable, gap-aware knowledge for AI assistants.
