Section 1
The premise
Eval frameworks supply the harness — you supply the cases and rubrics. Use them when 'looks fine' stops being defensible.
What AI does well here
- Compare frameworks on: case management, judges, dashboards.
- Help write a starter rubric.
- Suggest where rule-based checks beat LLM judges.
What AI cannot do
- Replace domain experts for ambiguous tasks.
- Make a bad rubric produce good signal.
- Catch what is not in the cases.
