What happened and what to do

Published on August 22, 2026, the study analyzed 1,338 post-training trajectories. The overall strategy changed in 74 of 3,557 adjacent experiments. Journals, skills libraries, and evaluators improved benchmarks but did not prompt strategic changes.

A company developing agents could implement explicit triggers to reassess its training strategy, alongside monitoring experiment results. A data pipeline and dashboard could record decisions, compare strategies, and flag when a workflow should reconsider its approach rather than merely refine its implementation.

How the consultancy can help

Wendelmaques can diagnose how experiments and strategic decisions are tracked, define reassessment criteria, and propose a scoped implementation and operation of the required data collection and monitoring controls.
