The metrics that predict your future are different from the metrics that describe your past. Most people track the wrong ones — and by the time they notice, the future has already arrived.
If you cannot measure an outcome you cannot build a feedback loop around it.
Regularly check that your feedback loops are still connected to meaningful outcomes.

Track how often each agent fires when it should and does not fire when it should not.
Effectiveness means your agent produces the intended outcome, not just that it runs.
