# Agent Failure Visibility

We aim to provide the most complete context at every step of the agent to win that outcome!

Date: 2026-09-17 01:14 UTC – Production traces of an agent don't show their failures in achieving outcomes.

Observation: Mostly engineers fail to look at the good parts of the traces.

Decision: Shift analysis focus to treat successful outcomes as first‑class data.

Decision: Launch benchmarks and case studies soon to validate the new trace‑centric methodology.

I am pursuing this shift because focusing only on failures gives a biased learning signal.
