Verify Evidence Sufficiency for an Agent Handoff

Evidence verification asks whether a reviewer can reproduce and challenge the result from the handoff alone. Check claim coverage, source lineage, timing, comparisons, and uncertainty using a small review sample. A long artifact list is insufficient if material claims still lack traceable support.

Check whether the outcome improved

  1. Check claim coverage

    Map each material conclusion to one or more named artifacts and mark direct, derived, or interpretive support. Require an explicit unresolved label for unsupported claims. Confirm the evidence actually bears on the claim rather than merely sharing its topic or time window.

  2. Reproduce key comparisons

    Re-run the smallest query, calculation, fixture, or record comparison needed to check the highest-impact claim. Compare identifiers, filters, revisions, and timestamps with the handoff. Record any difference and whether it changes the recommendation or only its wording.

  3. Review freshness and limits

    Confirm source timing, scope, missing periods, excluded records, and transformation assumptions are visible. Test how a stale or absent artifact would affect the conclusion. Retain the reviewed evidence index, comparison output, and exact handoff revision for later readers.

What to carry forward

Accept the handoff when material claims trace to reviewable evidence, key comparisons reproduce, timing and exclusions are visible, and uncertainty changes the wording appropriately. Keep verification open for untraceable or stale support. State which claims and source windows were covered rather than implying total proof.
