# Post-Conference Tool Trial Plan

## Overview
A structured plan for deciding which Worldsfair tools deserve hands-on trials after the event.

## Evidence
- [[tools]] - Tool index
- [[agent-evaluations]] - Topic synthesis
- [[coding-agents]] - Topic synthesis
- [[ai-sandboxes]] - Topic synthesis
- [[inference-engineering]] - Topic synthesis

## Evidence Boundary
This playbook is a post-conference action layer. It should cite sources for motivation while keeping implementation advice separate from observed event evidence.

## When To Use
Use this after a conference pass surfaces many plausible tools but not enough direct operational evidence to adopt one.

## Steps
- Group tools by job: coding agents, eval/observability, retrieval/context, sandbox/runtime, inference, and voice/multimodal.
- Pick one source-backed decision question per group before installing anything.
- Define a small local task and a scoring sheet for each group.
- Run a trial only when the tool has source evidence and a clear user workflow in this wiki.
- Write the result back as an evaluation page with confidence and open questions.
