# Managed Research Scenarios

> Canonical scenarios used to validate Managed Research end-to-end.

These scenarios are used to validate launch readiness and partner onboarding.

## Howie (email agent)

What it validates:

* End-to-end orchestration for a repo-backed harness
* Spend metering and budget accounting
* Morning summary and proof artifact generation

Expected outcome:

* Completed run with non-zero spend and downloadable deliverables.

## Crafter (GEPA vs MIPRO)

What it validates:

* Research scenario orchestration
* Policy optimization flows and trial matrix behavior
* Algorithm-specific artifact generation

Expected outcome:

* Completed optimization run with experiment outputs and synthesis artifacts.

## MintlifyBench (docs generation)

What it validates:

* Content generation from SDK repo + company URL
* Worker compliance with strict output contracts
* Scoring pipeline for generated docs quality

Expected outcome:

* Mintlify docs output (`.mdx` + `mint.json`) and associated scored artifacts.

## Choosing a scenario

* Start with **Howie** for baseline platform validation.
* Use **MintlifyBench** for content-generation and docs-focused partners.
* Use **Crafter** for optimization-focused partners and research workloads.
