A useful evaluation starts with your actual inputs. General model claims cannot tell you whether an extraction job will preserve missing values or whether a summary will retain the detail your team needs.
1. Define an acceptable answer
Write down the output schema, the allowed categories, and what should happen when the source is ambiguous. Keep unknown values explicit. A clear success criterion is more useful than a vague request for a good answer.
Feedback themesEXAMPLE2. Build a representative sample
Include normal inputs, longer inputs, messy formatting, and genuinely uncertain cases. Keep the evaluation set stable so that model revisions and configuration changes can be compared on the same work.
3. Check the failure cases
Inspect unsupported claims, dropped qualifications, inconsistent fields, and invalid structure. If a task has consequential outcomes, keep a qualified reviewer in the decision process. The model output remains a proposal to evaluate.
Schema reviewEXAMPLE4. Measure the serving profile
Quality is only part of the fit. Measure input and output lengths, throughput, and capacity behavior on authorized hardware. OFFPEAK’s planned cost floor depends on real workload evidence rather than mock performance.
5. Decide what can wait
Some queues can pause when capacity is unavailable; other tasks cannot. Plan retry and recovery behavior around the workload. A new quote may be needed after expiry, while a submitted request should be recovered by its stable identity.
6. Retain a reviewable record
Keep source references, approved output, request identity, and billing receipts where your team can reconcile them. A billing proof helps verify the record’s integrity; it does not replace evaluation of the model’s answer.
