Benchmarks measure what you ask. Red-teaming measures what breaks. Learn to test for failure modes, not capabilities. For AI, red teams probe for harmful outputs, jailbreaks, bias, leakage of training data, and dangerous capabilities.

P-value is one of the most abused numbers in research. Here is what it actually says — and what it does not. 'Model B is no better than model A.' 'The new prompt does not change user satisfaction.' A low p-value means the boring story would rarely produce data that looks like what you saw.

When you ask an LLM to 'analyze this data,' you get a guess. When you ask it to write reproducible code, you get a collaborator.

AI can accelerate underwriting workflows by summarizing relevant risk data, flagging anomalies, generating preliminary risk assessments, and drafting underwriting commentary.
