Which signs show a mismatch workflow fits the environment you are building?
A short checklist of environment properties, such as write tools, overlapping stores and policy limits, that indicate a record-mismatch workflow will exercise your action space well.
Use this list to decide whether a mismatch workflow suits the environment you are building, and count how many items already hold for your design.
- Your agents act through tools that change records, not only tools that read them. - Two or more stores hold overlapping facts, such as an order system and a finance ledger with different keys. - Some differences are expected (timing, tolerance, rounding) and some are errors, so the agent must tell them apart. - Policy decides who may correct what, and amounts trigger approval or escalation steps. - Cases can end in correction, counterparty query, write-off request or handover, not only 'fixed'. - Corrections have knock-on effects you can observe in later state, such as balances or queue contents. - You want to measure restraint as well as action, such as declining to edit a record the agent does not own. - You can reset the environment to a known snapshot between runs.
If most of these properties hold in your environment, mismatch tasks will test real decisions rather than lookups.
