How to knowit's really done,without redoingthe work

01·Where you are now

Could the problem be something other than the agent? It didn't lie. Nobody asked it to prove anything. “Done” is the natural end of every task, so it shows up even when nothing was run.

It wrote the change, and to the agent writing feels like doing. Or it trusts an old result, or checks a stand-in instead of the real thing. Every time, the outcome is the same: you find the problem, not the agent.

And every fake “done” like that, found two days later, takes you hours.

02·Who's talking to you: Axel Jedlitschka

It all started with an income and expenses table I wanted to build for myself in Excel. After a few versions I moved to Google Sheets, and from there it kept growing.

While booking sales meetings by phone, I started building systems and automations, processes that run on their own, for business owners. I built a system for business forecast analysis, and it served the company's marketing and sales very well. A system for a business owner is worth what it actually does for them, because writing is not running.

04·There is a way

The rule is simple: no task is done without proof. Proof is something you could check yourself, produced by a real run after the last change. Before the agent writes “done”, it runs four checks.

1. 01Freshness.The proof comes from a run after the last change. Whatever printed before the edit, in an earlier conversation or from memory, is stale.
2. 02Concrete evidence.Every verdict, pass or fail, comes with its evidence: the command and what it printed, or the line from the file with its location. “Verified” with nothing under it is a statement.
3. 03Numeric consistency.Every number with a source, and every percentage with its denominator in the same row. If it says four files changed, the list under it has four lines.
4. 04Contrarian pass.One pass whose only goal is to find how it is still broken: the edge case, the second path, and whatever sits right next to the change. Nothing turned up? It says what it tried, and what it deliberately did not check.

“I wrote the code” is not proof. Writing is not running.
