CXBench: A Benchmark for Process-Compliant LLM Agents in Regulated Customer-Experience Workflows

We introduce cxbench, a benchmark that evaluates outcome and process compliance separately across six regulated domains.

Key points

  • Tool-using language agents increasingly perform regulated customer-service workflows, where a correct final state is insufficient: agents must also provide disclosures, obtain consent, and follow required procedures.
  • Existing tool-agent benchmarks largely score final business states, accepting trajectories that reach correct outcomes through non-compliant processes.
  • We define a false-pass as an outcome-pass run that fails process checks.
  • Process-inclusive evaluation changes the observed model ordering and exposes differences hidden by outcome-only scoring. cxbench makes these failures inspectable through trace-linked criteria.
