Frame
the problem
Start with the job to be done, not the model you saw on a benchmark.
OUTPUTOne useful metricScope, success criteria, and a shared map of constraints.
We make progress legible. Every project moves through a small number of deliberate steps, with a decision, an artifact, and a measurable outcome at each one.
Start with the job to be done, not the model you saw on a benchmark.
Make sure every record has a reason to be there and a story you can stand behind.
Pair the right data with the right training recipe, then test against the moments that matter.
Put intelligence where the work happens, with ownership and observability from day one.
We do not build a valuable system on data you cannot explain.
Every experiment earns its place by moving a metric that matters.
Documentation, access, and handoff are part of the deliverable.
