READY Framework Qualifies AI Agents for Enterprise Deployment

Summary

Researchers introduce Reliable Enterprise Agent Deployment (READY), a framework for qualifying AI agents for enterprise workflows. It evaluates candidate oversight policies, selects the minimum-cost policy that meets a reliability target, and statistically validates the result on held-out cases. In a clinical-audit study of 16 agent systems and 750 cases, systems with autonomous accuracy of 72.8% and 72.5% required 39.2% and 29.6% human review, respectively, to reach the same 76% reliability target. READY reframes evaluation around the conditions and cost of dependable deployment.
