Agent commerce evaluation criteria

Choose the right platform. Verify what happens after the AI answers.

Evaluate an agent commerce platform on five pieces of evidence. Actual runs, original evidence, fixes at the source, purchase paths, and source records: SoldByAI keeps records of all five and uses them to operate your agent commerce channel over time.

Procurement evidence

Every channel claim needs evidence

Coverage, conclusions, fixes, purchase readiness, and attribution should all come with records you can inspect. Use these five questions with any agent commerce platform.

  1. Actual runs

    Actual runs

    Coverage starts with what actually ran

    Which entry points have an actual run record?

    Each record identifies the engine, real shopping question, test time, and run status. An unrun test, a failed run, and a completed answer in which the brand did not appear are three different results.

  2. Original evidence

    Original evidence

    The original answer comes before the score

    Which original answer supports each conclusion?

    The original question and answer remain on file. Mentions, citations, recommendations, and absences are classified separately, and every aggregate result traces back to those records.

  3. Fix at the source

    Fix at the source

    The fix begins at the source

    Can the issue be traced to your product data, corrected, and tested again?

    Every proposed fix identifies the product, original evidence, and product fact at issue. After you approve it, SoldByAI updates the product data and publishes the approved change where it is needed. The next cycle records the status and result.

    Brand product data, previous engine results, verified fixes, and open issues carry into the next cycle. Your dedicated optimization agent works from those records instead of relearning your brand from scratch. With each cycle, its proposed fixes become more specific to your brand.

    Every change requires your approval.

  4. Purchase path

    Purchase path

    A recommendation still needs a purchase path

    Once a product is recommended, is the purchase route live?

    SoldByAI runs an agent through find, compare, and select, then verifies the purchase route is live. The failure point and test time remain on record.

    1. Find
    2. Compare
    3. Select
    4. Route live

  5. Source record

    Source record

    Visibility is a metric. A channel needs a ledger.

    Can agent commerce visits and orders be traced to their source?

    Visits and orders that arrive through agent commerce are recorded by AI, product, and channel. When the source is on record, channel performance can be counted.
