Independent Verification | Separating AI Execution from Enterprise Assurance | R.A.H.S.I. Framework™
An agent changes a production configuration. Its evaluator scores the response as successful. The workflow closes. What established that the change was authorized and the resulting configuration was correct?
EXECUTION ≠ VERIFICATION.
A favorable score may show that a response met a rubric. It does not necessarily establish what happened in the environment or whether the outcome was acceptable.
Microsoft Foundry provides agent and tool-use evaluators, ground-truth comparisons, configurable judge models, risk and safety evaluation, monitoring, and automated adversarial probing.
Agent Framework supports local and custom checks.
Copilot Studio supports repeatable test conversations and comparison of saved evaluation runs.
These capabilities create useful ways to test and observe an agent; their presence alone does not establish independent assurance.
CORRELATED ASSURANCE FAILURE
R.A.H.S.I. calls the architectural hazard CORRELATED ASSURANCE FAILURE.
Two checks may agree because both rely on the same mistaken instruction, unverified evidence, or declaration of success.
A model-as-judge can be valuable, including within the same model family.
The control question is whether it can detect the executor’s relevant failure.
Independence has several dimensions
- who defines the acceptance criteria;
- which evidence the evaluator sees;
- whether it observes the execution path or only the agent’s account;
- and who holds permission to approve the outcome.
Changing the judge model does not, by itself, separate those dependencies.
Verification also has different jobs across the lifecycle:
Before deployment
- test acceptance criteria, tool use, safety risks, and adversarial cases.
At runtime
- check policy and authority boundaries; require approval when the action warrants it.
After execution
- retain reviewable records and compare the claimed result with checkable outcome evidence.
A passing release test cannot answer every.
