What you'll learn
Go to the next level of error analysis
Don't look at a metric and ask "how do I make this go up?" Instead, is this a model issue or a framing issue?
Apply diagnostic tests that go beyond standard evals
Learn quick diagnostic tests, based on years of experience doing AI projects. Catch issues earlier.
Decide whether to persist, pivot, or stop
You diagnosed the problem. Now learn to connect your signals to a decision: persist, stop, or pivot
Bonus: The AI Framing Worksheet
A one-page tool you can run on any AI project starting today.

Standard metrics fall short when you're solving the wrong problem or ignoring the signals to stop. After hundreds of AI use cases, I've distilled a process to assess your project's health and know when to change direction.
