Why can I only learn which coordination failure hit my agent pipeline after it already did?
機会
The MAST taxonomy, validated on over 1,600 production agent execution traces at NeurIPS 2025, names 14 coordination failure modes that account for 79% of multi-agent system failures. Knowing the taxonomy after a failure is useful. Knowing which failure mode a specific architecture will hit before deployment does not yet exist as a tool or discipline. Current evaluation practice runs component-level tests on individual agents but has no method to characterize the emergent failure profile of the whole system under realistic coordination load. Practitioners face a consistent 37% gap between lab performance and production reliability with no diagnostic that predicts where it will open.
重要な理由
Predictive coordination failure profiling is what turns a post-mortem taxonomy into a pre-deployment design check, which is the actual lever for cutting the production gap.
機会をどう評価するか
Opportunity Scoreは測定値ではなく、私自身の見解です。どれほど痛みを伴うか、どれほど頻繁に影響を与えるか、そして今日時点で解決策がいかに少ないか。スコアが高いほど、構築する価値が高いと私は考えています。
それが現れたときにどれほどの痛みをもたらすか。
実際にどれほど頻繁に人々がそれに直面するか。
今日時点で、それに対する優れたツールがいかに少ないか。
