How Prefactor delivers agent cost optimization for hr & recruiting

Pre-deployment validation — eval suites per agent, datasets versioned with audit links, champion-challenger evaluation between versions.

Runtime enforcement — policy-as-code controls what agents can do, approval routing for high-impact actions, per-agent spend caps, kill switches.

Continuous monitoring — drift detection, per-agent quality scores, cost and latency monitoring, population stability tracking.

Audit and evidence — tamper-evident logs of every agent action with cryptographic hashing, auditor-ready exports, change management records, evidence of human oversight where required.

Implementation pattern

Week 1-2: Shadow deployment - non-production, real traffic, observe but don't enforce
Week 3-4: Pilot with one production agent - passive policy first, then blocking
Week 5-8: Production enforcement with approval flows integrated
Quarter 2+: Expand to additional agents on same governance model
