1. What is the primary purpose of an evaluation framework in AI development?

   1. To replace the need for human reviewers entirely
   2. To automatically generate new training data for the model
   3. To compile and deploy AI models to production
   4. To provide repeatable scoring on test cases rather than ad-hoc spot-checks

2. A team has 50 cases for a summarizer. When comparing eval frameworks, which capability is MOST relevant to their needs?

   1. Case import and management
   2. Video rendering support
   3. Code compilation tools
   4. Real-time voice synthesis

3. Which framework feature helps track when new model versions perform worse than previous ones?

   1. User authentication
   2. Cloud storage capacity
   3. Social media integration
   4. Regression alerts

4. What is the function of a 'golden set' in evaluation?

   1. A tool for visualizing model architecture
   2. A dataset used exclusively for training
   3. A backup system for storing model weights
   4. A curated collection of expert-approved examples used as reference points

5. When should a team consider switching from ad-hoc spot-checks to a formal evaluation framework?

   1. When they need to deploy the model faster
   2. When they want to reduce their testing budget
   3. When 'looks fine' is no longer defensible to stakeholders
   4. When they want to eliminate all human oversight

6. In the context of eval frameworks, what do 'judges' typically do?

   1. Manage user accounts and permissions
   2. Score or assess outputs based on predefined criteria
   3. Compile code for production deployment
   4. Generate new test cases automatically

7. What is a key limitation when using LLM judges for evaluation?

   1. They require constant internet connectivity
   2. They automatically fix model bugs
   3. They cannot process text inputs
   4. They may not reliably replace domain experts for ambiguous tasks

8. Under what conditions would rule-based checks be preferable to LLM judges?

   1. When evaluating subjective aesthetic quality
   2. When the task requires creative writing
   3. When the evaluation criteria are precise and deterministic
   4. When analyzing ambiguous customer feedback

9. Why can a bad rubric fail to produce useful signal even with many test cases?

   1. Because the framework is not expensive enough
   2. Because the test cases are too few
   3. Because the rubric doesn't measure what actually matters to users
   4. Because the model hasn't been trained long enough

10. What is a regression suite in an evaluation framework?

    1. A tool for generating synthetic data
    2. A set of cases that must continue to pass as the model evolves
    3. A dashboard for user analytics
    4. A collection of deprecated test cases

11. What risk arises from adding rubrics specifically to chase a particular metric?

    1. The framework will run slower
    2. The model will become overfitted
    3. Scores may rise without actual quality improving
    4. The test cases will be deleted

12. What does it mean to 'tie rubrics to user-visible outcomes'?

    1. Make the rubric available to end users
    2. Publish rubric scores on the product website
    3. Design evaluation criteria that reflect what users actually experience
    4. Require users to complete the evaluation themselves

13. Why can't an evaluation framework catch certain model failures?

    1. Because the framework lacks sufficient computing power
    2. Because it cannot detect issues that are not represented in the test cases
    3. Because the rubric is too simple
    4. Because the judges are too strict

14. When comparing eval frameworks, which dashboard feature helps visualize evaluation results?

    1. Charts and graphs showing score distributions over time
    2. File compression ratios
    3. Email notification settings
    4. Network latency metrics

15. What is the core problem with evaluating an ambiguous task using only automated judges without human domain experts?

    1. The judges will always agree with each other
    2. The judges may lack the contextual understanding to make nuanced assessments
    3. The automated judges require no test cases
    4. The automated judges are always faster than humans
