Intelligence analysis, threat assessment, mission planning, and compliance review all share a common problem: they require the right experts in the right sequence, working without gaps or miscommunication. AgentDepots (AD) deploys purpose-built AI teams on demand — a researcher to gather and verify, an analyst to assess and synthesize, a security reviewer to validate, a technical writer to produce the deliverable — all coordinated automatically, in the correct order, with built-in quality gates before anything moves forward. Every team is assembled specifically for the task at hand and stands down when complete, which means no persistent attack surface, no lingering data exposure, and no unnecessary access. For classified or sensitive workflows, each AgentDepots instance is fully isolated, with its own identity layer, cryptographic credentials, and access boundaries — making it deployable in multi-tenant environments where strict separation between programs, agencies, or classification levels is mandatory. When time, accuracy, and accountability matter at the mission level, AgentDepots delivers a disciplined, auditable team that executes on orders — every time.
Project Orchestration Benchmark (POB)
It’s a scoring system defined specifically to measure how well an AI framework handles the full lifecycle of a project — not just whether it can answer a single question correctly.
The 100-point score is made up of 5 weighted categories:
| Category | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Plan Quality | 20% | Valid dependency graph, correct decomposition, constraint compliance |
| Assignment Quality | 15% | Right task assigned to right agent/role |
| Coordination | 25% | Rework loops, failure recovery, state consistency |
| Deliverable Quality | 30% | Required outputs present, tests pass, human rubric quality |
| Efficiency | 10% | Latency, token cost, wasted retries |
The key insight behind the name is that traditional benchmarks (like GSM8K for math, BoolQ for Q&A) only measure single-task capability. POB wraps those same datasets inside a multi-agent orchestration workflow to measure how well the framework — not just the underlying LLM — coordinates, plans, and delivers results. That’s why AgentDepots scores 79.31 POB even on a local model, while faster frameworks score much lower despite calling the same model.

Overall Ranking (POB Score 0–100)
| Rank | Framework | POB Score | 95% CI | Accuracy | Avg Latency | Errors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AgentDepots | 79.31 | 75.1–83.6 | 83.8% | 11.9s | 0 |
| 2 | LangChain | 70.98 | 47.6–94.4 | 50.8% | 3.9s | 0 |
| 3 | LangGraph | 63.74 | 40.8–86.7 | 40.2% | 4.0s | 0 |
| 4 | ZenML* | 35.02 | 13.3–56.7 | 39.8% | 4.1s | 900/900* |
| 5 | AutoGen* | 34.99 | 13.4–56.6 | 39.8% | 4.1s | 900/900* |
| Framework | Root cause |
|---|---|
| AutoGen* | AutoGen’s agent runtime requires its own conversation-loop infrastructure (GroupChat, AssistantAgent, etc.) that was not compatible with containerized single-API-endpoint setup used for the fair run. The runner fell back to a plain LLM call and tagged it autogen_adapter_fallback_used. |
| ZenML* | ZenML is fundamentally a pipeline/MLOps orchestration tool, not an LLM agent framework. It has no native LLM inference loop — the runner could only use a lightweight shim (zenml_light_adapter_used) that calls the model directly. |
*Why this matters for the 900/900 error count:
- 900 samples = 3 scenarios × 100 samples × 3 seeds
- Every single sample was flagged because every single AutoGen and ZenML run used the fallback adapter — it wasn’t intermittent, it was the whole run
The scores they achieved (~39.8% accuracy) are essentially bare LLM accuracy with no orchestration — because they never actually executed any orchestration. Their POB score bottoms out at ~35 because they score zero on native coordination and plan quality metrics.
Per-Scenario POB Breakdown
| Scenario | AgentDepots | LangChain | LangGraph | ZenML | AutoGen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AG News (topic) | 78.77 | 70.51 | 60.75 | 31.49 | 31.45 |
| BoolQ (yes/no QA) | 75.86 | 91.88 | 85.35 | 55.73 | 55.62 |
| GSM8K (math) | 83.30 | 50.55 | 45.11 | 17.84 | 17.89 |
POB Sub-Metric Breakdown
| Metric (weight) | AgentDepots | LangChain | LangGraph |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plan Quality (20%) | 91/100 | 63/100 | 54/100 |
| Assignment Quality (15%) | 67/100 | 98/100 | 97/100 |
| Coordination (25%) | 95/100 | 79/100 | 74/100 |
| Deliverable Quality (30%) | 87/100 | 47/100 | 34/100 |
| Efficiency (10%) | 12/100 | 99/100 | 98/100 |
Key Findings
- AgentDepots wins on accuracy by a large margin: 83.8% vs 50.8% (LangChain) vs 40.2% (LangGraph)
- AgentDepots dominates Coordination and Deliverable Quality — the two highest-weighted categories — which is why it wins despite being slower
- AgentDepots’ latency is higher (~12s vs ~4s): it does multi-step reasoning and coordination per task; the others are faster but produce wrong or empty answers
- No framework had invalid DAGs or state inconsistencies — clean runs all around for AgentDepots, LangChain, LangGraph
- Early Gemini run (3 samples,
gemini-2.0-flash-lite): abandoned — LangGraph hit 429 rate-limit errors on all 3 samples; that run is excluded from the main comparison
POB Go/No-Go Gate Status (claiming “Orchestration Leader”)
