GroundEval: A Deterministic Replacement for LLM-as-Judge in Stateful Agent Evaluation

GroundEval introduces a deterministic framework for evaluating AI agents by auditing their evidence retrieval and reasoning paths rather than relying on LLM judges. The tool detected a critical failure case where frontier LLM judges scored an agent response above 0.85, but the actual trace revealed the agent never retrieved the artifact it cited, yielding a GroundEval score of 0.000.
