Help map which AI agent tasks are actually safe, useful, and cost-effective in 2026.
The Trust Index studies where agents are ready for production, where companies remain stuck in POC, and which workflows should not be started yet.
Trust level by task, not hype level by vendor.
The core research question: where can AI agents be trusted today, and where are companies still wasting time in POC?
What the public benchmark will show.
Market-level findings will be published when the sample is large enough to avoid misleading early numbers. The public version will show directional readiness categories, top POC blockers, broad adoption signals, and summary charts.
Top tested tasks
Which agent workflows companies are actively exploring across business functions.
Readiness categories
Where agents appear production-ready, supervised, risky, or premature.
Failure patterns
Why POCs fail to become useful production workflows.
Use-case categories we track.
The agent can draft, research, compare, or recommend with a clear human checkpoint.
The demo works, but production depends on data, ownership, evaluation, and integration quality.
The workflow is too risky, too ambiguous, too expensive, or better handled by deterministic automation.

Sections in the full report.
Readiness by task
Which tasks are ready for supervised production and which need more evidence.
Anti-pattern library
Tasks where companies are using agents when automation, data cleanup, or process design should come first.
Vendor red flags
Claims, pricing patterns, and implementation gaps buyers should test before signing.
