Per-sentence source-span grounding flags

Problem: In document-grounded QA, the dominant failure isn't invented facts but interpretive overconfidence — unsupported characterizations of sources laundered into confident general statements. Fluency-optimized models can't supply claim-level s...

Confidence-reset wrapper after observed failures

Problem: LLMs grow more confident even after failing — they lack the post-task error signal humans use to recalibrate. An agent that just failed badly will confidently fail again. Idea: Add an Orchestrate "confidence reset" wrapper that tracks obs...

Calibrated uncertainty phrasing with verbosity penalty

Problem: People systematically overestimate what LLMs get right, and longer explanations inflate trust without improving accuracy — verbosity masquerades as reliability. Agents persuade when they should calibrate. Idea: Add an Orchestrate response...

Anti-underaction nudge when clinical agents abstain

Problem: Hiding uncertain AI outputs (selective prediction) fixes automation bias but creates a new harm: clinicians told "the AI abstained" underdiagnose (+18% missed diagnoses) and undertreat (+35% missed treatments). Abstention changes the erro...

Assumptions-audit checklist before plan approval

Problem: As agents present multi-step plans, humans over-rely on the plan itself — and common "critical thinking" nudges like what-if prompts feel helpful but don't change behavior while adding cognitive load. Idea: Add an Orchestrate plan-review ...

Uncertainty head for skewed enterprise data

Problem: Standard uncertainty methods assume clean, balanced data. Enterprise data is long-tailed and noisy, and rigid uncertainty models give badly calibrated "I don't know" signals exactly where agents face the messiest inputs. Idea: Add a drop-...
