Evaluation and guardrails
An evaluation set, cost and latency limits, and logging, so model behaviour is measured rather than assumed.
DEFINITION
Definition
Evaluation and guardrails define the cases, scoring rules, operating limits, logs and human checkpoints used to measure model behaviour before a change reaches normal operation.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
- You can provide representative inputs and outputs.
- A named owner can supply a named risk decision maker.
- Your team needs an evaluation suite, a guardrail specification and a change report.
HONEST FIT
Not for you if
your team will not define unacceptable outcomes or assign someone to act when a check fails.
WHAT WE BUILD
The work inside the scope
Inputs from you: Representative inputs and outputs, Known failure examples, A named risk decision maker and Existing policy documentation. Work items: Risk and failure mapping, Evaluation case design, Scoring rule implementation, Cost and latency limits, Human review checkpoints and Change comparison reports. Together they produce an evaluation suite, a guardrail specification and a change report.

HOW IT GOES
A two to four weeks working range
- 01
Set the boundary
Confirm the scope, the owner and the decisions that sit inside two to four weeks.
- 02
Inspect the inputs
Your team supplies representative inputs and outputs, known failure examples, a named risk decision maker, existing policy documentation.
- 03
Build the work
We complete the agreed items and keep exceptions with a named owner.
- 04
Hand over the artefact
You receive an evaluation suite, a guardrail specification and a change report.
