GrowthOS

How agents actually use software.

A research program for task completion, failure surfaces, controlled treatments, and the gap between Eval behavior and production outcomes.

Publication standard

Research begins after the evidence gate.

Research will publish findings only when the task, sample, provenance, time window, method, and limitations are explicit.

Research agenda

Ten questions, published only when the evidence is ready.

These are the chapters GrowthOS is building toward. They are an agenda, not findings, charts, or implied benchmark results.

01

Completion-rate distribution.

How task outcomes vary across comparable cohorts.

Awaiting publication-gated evidence
02

Where agent tasks fail.

The product surfaces and barriers that stop completion.

Awaiting publication-gated evidence
03

Production versus controlled behavior.

Where live journeys and managed runs agree or diverge.

Awaiting publication-gated evidence
04

Completion by product category.

Category patterns only after task definitions are comparable.

Awaiting publication-gated evidence
05

Performance across agents and models.

Agent and model context without universal rankings.

Awaiting publication-gated evidence
06

Documentation, authentication, API, and MCP barriers.

The structural friction found across core surfaces.

Awaiting publication-gated evidence
07

Effect of product treatments.

What changes under controlled docs, access, and interface variants.

Awaiting publication-gated evidence
08

Confidence and unresolved activity.

How uncertainty changes the interpretation of production evidence.

Awaiting publication-gated evidence
09

Before/after completion lift.

Production change only after a verified time window exists.

Awaiting publication-gated evidence
10

Research limitations.

Coverage, evaluator fallibility, samples, and unobserved behavior.
