QuestionQ4

Agentic Architecture & Orchestration

Production reviews show that uncertainty is handled inconsistently in final reports. At times, conflicting subagent findings are combined into one confident statement, losing nuance; at other times, reports use so many qualifications that they become unhelpful. When the web-search agent reports “industry analysts estimate $50B market size (methodology varies)” and the document-analysis agent reports “peer-reviewed study estimates $35B (±$7B, 95% CI),” the coordinator either arbitrarily selects one or produces vague wording such as “the market may be $35B-$50B depending on factors.” What systematic approach best resolves this?

Explanation

Reports should distinguish conclusions that are well established from those that remain contested, while preserving each source’s stated uncertainty, methodology, and evidentiary character. This communicates genuine disagreement without arbitrarily selecting a result, flattening uncertainty into a single number, or obscuring useful context with generic hedging.
