Track C · Planned

# Which recovery mechanisms matter most under tool failure?

- Second question: When are checkpoints, idempotency and retries worth their cost?

- First experiment: Ablation of checkpoints, idempotency and retries under injected failures, measuring completion, duplication and cost.

- Output: A recovery benchmark and design rules for durable execution.

- What we will not claim: Injected failures are the failures we thought of. Production will find others.

## Publications from this track

Nothing published yet. The first evaluation method is due within 90 days of October 2026. Each report will be reviewed by someone who did not build the system.

## Work with the programme

We run experiments on customer workflows only with written permission and on permitted data. If you have a workflow and a question, write to research@chainfore.com.
