Without measurement, development becomes guesswork. Evaluation separates engineering from tinkering.
Connections
- To Debugging: How do eval failures guide debugging?
- To Cost and Latency: How do you balance performance metrics with cost?
- To Production: How does eval in dev relate to monitoring in prod?
- To Self-Improving Experts: The three-role architecture validates design choices through ablation studies—measuring that multi-iteration reflection provides +1.7% improvement over single-pass analysis. Demonstrates why measurement matters for architectural decisions.
- To Model Evaluation: Model evaluation focuses on choosing and validating models for agentic tasks. This section focuses on evaluating agent implementations using those models.
