Trace integrity gives data agents a better reliability target than answer accuracy

Data agents can produce the right answer for the wrong reason, and that is a serious problem in business systems. If the reasoning trace is invalid, a benchmark score may hide a tool that cannot be trusted on unfamiliar data.
