Agent evaluation for marketing teams shipping AI

An agent publishing under your brand or touching a customer segment can do real reputational and regulatory damage in one bad run, and most teams find out after it is live.

Every run scored for quality, performance and risk, and checked against the activity schema you define.

§01 / THE STAKESindustry: marketing
TL;DR

Every marketing agent run gets watched, evaluated for quality and risk, and checked against the rules you set. One record answers what any agent did, with evidence ready for review.

The stakes

What's at stake in marketing

For the CMOs, content leads, and engineering teams behind a content or campaign agent, the stakes are the customer data the agent reaches for targeting and every claim it publishes under the company name.

01
Customer data in reach

Content and campaign agents reach customer attributes for targeting, and the team needs a record of which ones.

02
Wrong claim under the brand

A wrong claim goes out under the company name, to a wide audience, before anyone reads it.

03
No provenance per post

Few teams can show, for a published post, where each claim actually came from.

§02 / SOURCE OF TRUTHconnect: instrument + ingest
The solution

One source of truth for your marketing agents.

Instrument the agent frameworks you build on, and ingest the systems those agents touch as custom spans. Every run, score and signal lands in one place.

§03 / THE LOOPpath: observe → evaluate → act
The loop

Observe. Evaluate. Act.

A record of what the agent did, and a check before it goes further. Each step below closes one of the problems above.

  • Observe. Every attribute read recorded as its own span
  • Evaluate. Each claim checked against the source document it was pulled from
  • Act. Written to an immutable audit trail, queryable per campaign

§05 / IN PRODUCTIONproof: two real agents
The proof

Two agents marketing teams are already shipping.

Hypothetical, but grounded in how marketing teams deploy agents today.

Content generation agent

Low risk · 88/100

A CrewAI agent drafts blog posts and social copy by pulling product facts from an internal knowledge base and brand voice guidelines from a style doc, publishing drafts into a CMS queue for editorial review.

  • Each fact the agent pulls and each draft it produces recorded as its own span
  • Validated against an activity schema that checks a claimed statistic or feature detail against the source document it was pulled from
  • Scored for quality and risk on every run

An editor sees which source document backs a specific claim before the post publishes, not after a customer asks.

Campaign segmentation agent

Medium risk · 84/100

A LangChain agent analyzes customer data in a CDP to build audience segments and recommends budget shifts across channels, with a marketer approving segment definitions before a campaign sends.

  • Every segment the agent builds and every budget recommendation it makes captured as a span
  • Each segment checked against its activity schema: whether the segment logic used only approved customer attributes
  • A configurable risk profile flags a segment definition that touches a restricted data field

A marketer confirms a segment used only approved customer attributes before the campaign sends, not after it landed.

Frequently asked questions

Can Prefactor instrument our existing marketing agents without re-architecting?
Yes. There are native SDKs for the frameworks you build on, a TypeScript and Python core SDK for anything else, and OpenTelemetry ingest for closed tools you can't reach with an SDK — no gateway in your request path and no rebuild of your agents.
Can we bring our own marketing systems and metrics into a run?
Yes, through custom spans. Attach data, evaluations or quality signals from any system your agents touch — Content management system, Customer data platform, Product knowledge base and more — so every evaluation is grounded in what actually happened, not just the model output.
How does evaluation work on each run?
Every run is scored for quality and risk and checked against the activity schema you define. A run that breaches it can be held for review, escalated to a person, or blocked before it acts.
How is this different from an observability tool?
Tracing tells you what an agent did. Prefactor scores it and can hold or block the next action before it runs — observation plus enforcement, and one queryable record for every agent, not just a dashboard.
Where does our marketing data live?
Prefactor's primary infrastructure runs in Australia. For enterprise engagements it deploys where your data needs to live: your region, or your environment. Residency is part of the engagement conversation, not an add-on.
