What business context makes an evidence task useful for agent development?
Useful evidence tasks preserve the operational pressures that shape record creation, including batching, shared artefacts and distinctions between routine activity and exceptions.
Use this checklist to decide whether a generated evidence task represents the business context an agent must understand before assembling records into a reviewable package.
- Include batch activity where one reconciliation supports several cases, requiring the agent to identify the relevant portion without claiming exclusive ownership. - Represent shared resources, such as a shift register, whose entries acquire meaning only when connected to the affected service or transaction. - Distinguish routine processing from exception handling so the agent can explain why different cases require different supporting material. - Preserve operational abbreviations alongside defined meanings, allowing the agent to interpret local terminology without inventing a new process requirement. - Include cancelled work that leaves records behind, so an agent does not mistake every recorded action for a completed business outcome. - Show the reviewer's intended decision, such as accepting a control explanation, so evidence selection serves a concrete question rather than general summarisation. - Retain workload context when it explains record structure, such as consolidated daily logs, without treating workload as permission to ignore obligations.
Choose tasks that expose business structure instead of teaching agents to expect one neat folder per case.
