Capstone: Proving It Works
Evals and launch.
The founder's impressed, but asks one more question. How do you know that it'll still work next week? Here's your answer. A test set that runs on every change.

- How do you know?
- Will it work next week?
- Tests on every change
Juno's eval
Three real cases. For each one, we check that it used the right tool, and that the reply has the key fact. That's a trajectory check and an outcome check together. Run it. There's Juno's score, on the real model. This goes into your workflow, and it grows with each new bug.

("Where is order B42?", "get_order", "shipped"),

]

Here's the plan to give to the founder. Week one, shadow mode, comparing Juno with the team. Week three, drafts for a human to approve. Week five, automatic replies on tracking questions, for five percent of customers. Week eight, wider, with the kill switch ready. Then the team focuses on the hard cases, where people really matter.
- Week 1shadow mode
- Week 3human-approved drafts
- Week 5five percent, tracking only
- Week 8wider rollout
- Afterteam on hard cases

What you built
Look at what you've just built. A real agent, with tools. Memory by thread. A human in the loop. Hard rules in code. Protection from attacks. An audit log. And evals. Most agents in production today don't have all of that. Yours does.
Summary
The two tired people at Velo Supply now go home on time. And the customers get answers in seconds. That's what agents are for. Next, let's see how much you remember.
Key takeaways- Evals prove it works
- Roll out in stages
- You built a real system
