Anchor generates task harnesses from constraint specs, producing verifiable ground-truth solutions and state-based rewards that eliminate artifact drift in agent evaluation.
May 28, 2026
Summary
Agent evaluation environments frequently diverge between instruction, environment, oracle, and verifier—making tasks unsolvable or reward-hackable. Anchor's pipeline jointly produces all components from a single spec, letting you generate controllable difficulty benchmarks with known optimal solutions for production ERP workflows.

Implementation verdict
Replaces manual task harness construction with parametric generation; requires formalization of domain workflows as constraint optimization programs. ERP-Bench (300 tasks, procurement/manufacturing) shows frontier models hit constraints 26.1% of trials but fully optimal solutions only 17.4%—useful for calibrating agent capability but not production-ready. Worth evaluating if you own ERP agent evaluation; task generator and dataset released.
