Operating with AI

Evaluation

Systematically measuring whether an AI workflow produces good outputs.

Definition

Systematically measuring whether an AI workflow produces good outputs. Evaluation can be human review, automated checks, or a second model grading the first. Without evaluation you cannot tell whether a change to a prompt, model, or workflow made things better or worse.

Example

Before swapping the model behind your sales-email generator, you run 50 historical leads through both versions and have a reviewer rate the drafts. The new model wins on 38 of 50 — now you can ship the swap with evidence.
