About
Focused on one question: is this agent ready?
Who we are
Judgeworthy is a US engineering company that builds and operates AI systems for clients and for its own products. The engineers who work on Judgeworthy engagements are senior practitioners who have built agents, run them in production, and built the evaluation harnesses that keep them honest. We are not a marketplace, not a staffing firm and not a software vendor; we are the people doing the work.
Why this niche
Most teams shipping agents in 2026 have tracing. Far fewer have evals. LangChain's State of Agent Engineering survey put it at 89% of agent teams with observability and 52% with evaluation, and Gartner published its first Market Guide for AI Agent Evaluation and Observability Platforms in February 2026 while forecasting that a large share of agentic projects will be cancelled before they deliver value. The gap between "we can see what happened" and "we know whether it was right" is where agents fail in front of customers.
The tooling to close that gap is good and mostly open. What is missing is judgment: someone to define what correct means for a specific agent, build the graders, measure them against humans, and keep them honest. Platforms cannot do that for you, because it is specific to your task. That is the part we do.
How we think about evals
- The trajectory matters as much as the answer. An agent that reaches the right outcome by calling a destructive tool twice is not correct.
- A judge that has not been measured against humans is a guess with a number on it.
- A finding that cannot be replayed is an anecdote.
- A suite nobody runs in CI is documentation.
How we are paid
We bill hourly on a time-and-materials basis, as a scoped project or as staff augmentation, with the scope and estimate agreed in writing through an initial conversation before work starts. We do not take a percentage of model spend, and we do not take referral fees from tool vendors. If we recommend a tool, it is because it fits.
What we will not do
- Invent a case study, a customer logo or a statistic. When we have reference customers to name, we will name them with their permission.
- Declare anything safe or issue a certification. We deliver evidence; the launch decision is yours.
- Build your agent for you under the name of an eval engagement. If you need an agent built, we will say so and point you to the right people.
