Turn Coordination Findings Into Better Agent Evaluation

Coordination cases teach whether a team result is supported by an observable process. Preserve the first ownership gap, shared-state evidence, and final effect. Turn the lesson into a reusable team scenario that distinguishes individual quality from collaboration quality for evidence reviewers.

Keep the lesson for the next incident

  1. Save the coordination case

    Store task, roles, messages, shared state, dependencies, outputs, conflict, recovery, synthesis, score, and interpretation. Include a successful handoff and a plausible final result that concealed missing work from independent review.

  2. Improve team practice

    Add role boundaries, message fields, state snapshots, dependency checks, conflict cases, and failed-agent recovery to evaluation plans. Explain how the change addresses the exact coordination gap found in the trace.

  3. Watch for team blind spots

    Set a signal such as duplicate work, stale shared state, final synthesis without source outputs, ownership questions, or missing handoffs after failure. Assign an owner to sample team traces and revise checks when it appears.

What to carry forward

The learning record should connect the coordination gap to revised role, message, or state checks and recurrence signal. State which boundary became visible. Keep the lesson tied to the tested team design rather than prescribing one universal orchestration pattern before changing team behavior or scoring.
