What should you prove before building an AI feature?
Define the job, evaluation, and failure before choosing the model.
The central question
Define the job, evaluation, and failure before choosing the model.
01
The job first
Write what the system will do, for whom, and from which input. The word AI does not describe value.
02
Design the evaluation
Choose realistic examples, failure cases, and a metric the business understands. A smooth demo is not an evaluation.
03
Place the human intentionally
Decide where a person reviews, approves, and handles uncertainty. Control is part of the product.
