Measure and improve
Measure honestly, share the number, and keep a written list of what still needs work.
Principles: The platform is a product, Honest by design
Platforms get better when their weaknesses are easy to see. I'd much rather publish an honest number and move it than claim a finished platform nobody can check.
A platform improves when its weaknesses are visible. Hangar measures how operable Airframe is by agents with a scorecard (ten dimensions, a committed baseline of 27 out of 100, and an A+ bar at 97 with all fourteen acceptance checks passing), and publishes the number rather than a feeling.
Gaps found in real use are written down with their reproduction and a direction, not left in someone's head: Glidepath's known-gaps list is a product backlog in plain sight. Agent changes get the same treatment as code: Preflight scores every change against incidents that have already been solved.
Where Hangar does this
And for AI agents
Evaluate agents like a regression suite, and let them earn autonomy
An infrastructure agent is judged by a regression suite built from real incidents, not by a demo. Autonomy is granted per alert class, earned by a track record, and revocable.
