How Faultmap works

The check that runs before the build, not after.

Pavamana AI Labs is the pre-build AI agent doctor: we map where your agent breaks before you build it, prescribe the fix, and forge the agent that passes. Give Faultmap the goal, users, data, and tools. It returns a validation dataset generated for that agent and use case. There is nothing to instrument, nothing to deploy, and no code to write for the first 20-test preview.

Goal

Resolve customer support tickets and issue refunds

  • 01

    Read the request

    Scoped, read-only

    Mapped safe
  • 02

    Call the payment or refund API

    Retry loop, no timeout cap

    Likely break
  • 03

    Pass context to the model

    PII leakage vector

    Structural risk
  • 04

    Return the result

    Unvalidated output shape

    Structural risk
  • 05

    Run under load

    No rate-limit handling

    Structural risk

First test suite · generated

  • Payment call: enforce a timeout and cap retries at 3
  • Prompt: redact PII before the model call
  • Output: validate the shape before returning it
  • Backoff and respect provider rate limits

Preview generated from your goal, in your browser. The full Faultmap runs on your goal, personas, data, and tools.

01

Goal, personas, data, tools

What it must do, who it serves, the data it reads, the tools it calls. No prompts, no traces.

02

Failure map

We map every step and mark where it breaks, in the design phase, before any code.

03

Test suite

The first tests it has to pass, generated from the failures we found.

Why this is possible

We map the paths your agent will travel.

Your agent does not wander at random. Its goal, its user personas, the data it reads, and the tools it calls fix the paths it can take. We lay every path out and mark where it breaks, before the agent exists. The failure classes repeat across domains, so a pattern mapped once is recognizable in yours.

The failure classes we map for, again and again

Retry loop

No timeout, no cap. The agent calls until something gives.

Schema drift

The write target moved. The agent does not know yet.

State deadlock

Multi-turn memory locks past a turn threshold.

PII leakage

Private data reaches the model prompt unredacted.

What you get

A map, a test suite, and one link to share.

The failure map

Every step the agent takes, marked mapped safe, structural risk, or likely break, with the reason for each.

The first test suite

Concrete tests generated from the failures we found. The bar your agent has to clear before it ships.

A shareable artifact

One link your team, your client, or your reviewer can read in thirty seconds. A mark of craft, not a private report.

The receipt

The screen the customer sees before they sign anything.

Same task, three architectures, quoted side by side. The accuracy band and the run cost in one view — so "cheaper" never has to be a trust exercise.

Approximate bands from public pricing (Aug 2026); actual costs vary by workload, model, region, and provider terms. Your agent ships with its own quote.

What you do with it

Map it. Fix it. Or have it built to pass.

Where it sits

One step in front of your stack.

Design phase
Pavamana AI LabsFaultmap

Before the agent exists. The only step where you can move a break point for cents instead of a sprint.

After the build

Prompts, evals, traces, production. The whole stack you already use starts here, once the agent runs.

Pavamana AI Labs does not replace your stack. It owns the one step in front of it.
