OVERVIEW

What makes this environment useful?

Research environments evaluate whether an agent can discover relevant evidence, apply source constraints, and produce a supported result. Reward design should penalize unsupported conclusions.

REPRESENTATIVE TASKS

Example agent workflows

  • Find and compare evidence across a fixed document corpus
  • Answer a research question with verifiable citations
  • Produce an evidence table under completeness constraints
ENVIRONMENT DESIGN

Core components to specify

Stable document corpus and retrieval interface
Ground-truth citations and answerability labels
Fact and source-support checks
EVALUATION

How to measure success

Useful evaluation signals include evidence coverage, citation precision, unsupported-claim rate. The precise verifier depends on the task. Prefer checks against underlying system state and executable tests over subjective presentation scores.

DESIGN WATCH-OUT

Fluent summaries are not proof of correctness. Verify citations actually support claims and allow abstention when evidence is absent.
