In the previous video, we covered the interactive probing design pattern, but our emphasis in that video was on post-action investigation. But what if an agent carried out a critical task incorrectly, resulting in real damage or loss? A post-task investigation would help us understand what went wrong, but it wouldn't help us prevent the damage from occurring.
