Proof-Adjusted Autonomy Reveals True Agent Performance
A new metric, Proof-Adjusted Autonomy (PAA), shows that a demo agent claiming 90% autonomy actually delivers only 61.6% when accounting for evidence, validation, and timeliness. The formula multiplies probabilities of execution, evidence, validation, and on-time delivery. This exposes the gap between marketing claims and operational reality.

The PAA metric is a useful corrective to inflated autonomy claims, but its adoption depends on organizations being willing to measure what they'd rather market.
