Start an Independent Verification and Scorecard Service for AI Agents

1. 1

   Build test batteries worth trusting

   Per category: task-completion suites, hallucination probes (does the sales agent invent discounts or policies), adversarial and injection attempts, data-boundary checks, and degradation under malformed inputs, all versioned and repeatable. Published methodology is what separates a lab from a blog.

2. 2

   Sell the pre-purchase assessment

   A buyer choosing between three agent vendors pays a fixed fee for a comparative assessment against their actual use case; the deliverable is a decision, which prices far above a report. Mid-size companies deploying customer-facing agents are the eager first market.

3. 3

   Publish scorecards with a bright ethical line

   Category scorecards build the authority flywheel, and the entire asset is independence: no vendor payment for inclusion, placement, or retesting priority, stated publicly and kept. One compromised ranking ends the franchise.

4. 4

   Design legally careful publication

   Test truthfully, document everything, describe findings factually, and give vendors a response window before publication; a media-law review of your publication process is cheap armor against the inevitable unhappy vendor.

5. 5

   Standardize toward certification

   As the batteries mature, a 'verified' mark with annual retesting becomes recurring vendor-paid revenue, kept honest by the same no-influence rules and public methodology. Sequence it after buyer-side authority is established, not before.

6. 6

   Ride the incident news cycle

   Every public agent failure (leaked data, invented policies, rogue refunds) is your category's marketing; rapid, factual teardown analyses of public incidents build the reputation that buyers remember at procurement time.

Do not take our word for the money. Put your own numbers in and see what this idea has to earn before it works. Free, instant, no account needed.

Best for: An AI-literate skeptic with QA instincts and the spine to publish unflattering results

Not for: Anyone tempted to take vendor placement money or soften results. This wins only as a strictly independent testing lab.
