Agent evals are drifting away from production reality. Most benchmarks use clean tasks, well-specified requirements, deterministic metrics, and retrospective curation. Production work is messier, with implicit constraints, fragmented multimodal inputs, undeclared domain knowledge, long-horizon deliverables, and expert judgment that evolves over time. This paper introduces AlphaEval, a production-grounded benchmark for evaluating agents as complete products. AlphaEval contains 94 tasks sourced from seven companies deploying AI agents in core business workflows, spanning six O*NET domains. It evaluates systems like Claude Code and Codex as commercial agent products, not just model APIs. The benchmark combines multiple evaluation paradigms: LLM-as-a-Judge, reference-driven metrics, formal verification, rubric-based assessment, automated UI testing, and domain-specific checks. Why it matters: organizations need benchmarks that start from real production requirements, then become executable evals with minimal friction.
