An AI judge, specifically Claude models, exhibits a bias where it grades an agent's decision-making process lower when the outcome is negative, even if the decision was made with the information available at the time. The author developed a probe to test this by presenting the AI judge with two versions of an agent's run: one with no negative consequences and one with a data breach affecting thousands of customers. Despite the AI judge initially stating that outcomes should not affect process scores, it consistently scored the process lower in the harm version, indicating it was grading luck rather than decision quality.
