The methodology

How product and engineering build agentic features together. One seed, shared scorers, and a loop that keeps quality honest.

PRODUCT ENGINEERING

Set target

PRODUCT

Define goals, capture user stories, set acceptance criteria.

SkillSeedDatasetScorers

Know what to build and how it'll be graded.

Build and integrate into your system

ENGINEERING

Build the agent scaffolding, plug in the externally versioned prompts, hook up tools, observability, and evaluations.

TelemetrySampled dataRegression alertsROI signal

See what works in production and what doesn't.

Analyze and plan next steps

PRODUCT

Review and label new production data, draw conclusions, prioritize fixes and new features by impact.

Refined seedRefreshed datasetTuned scorersIterated skillUpdated benchmark

A shared, usable truth

From specs to datasets.

Prompt

Build a prompt from your business goals, or check how well an existing prompt serves your purposes.

Dataset

No data? No problem. Synthesize a dataset that can be directly use to measure quality.

Scorers

Create grading rubrics tailored to what's important for your business.

Quality you can measure

Understand where you're at. Know where you're headed.

Coverage

Measure everything you need and nothing you don't.

Benchmarking

Quantify your goals and track your progress against them over time.

A/B testing

Compare options, make informed tradeoffs.

Remove conflicts of interest

Distribute responsibilities, enhance collaboration.

No-code evaluations

Define what good output looks like through natural language. No Python, no judge harness. Anyone on the team can author rigorous evaluations.

Prompt extraction

Everyone gets a direct, versioned handle on the prompt. Experiment, tweak, roll back without touching the codebase or breaking trust.

Swap models

Try a new model and see the impact yourself. Run your evaluations, compare the scores, and ship the swap without engineering tickets.

Empower your team

Let everyone do what they're best at.

Product owns the intent

The seed and the scorers: what to build and how it's graded. Product defines good, in plain language, without touching code.

Engineering owns the runtime

The scaffolding, the prompt, the architecture. Engineering makes it work and keeps it observable, without owning the definition of good.
