Start with the workflow, not the model.
Architecture follows the job, the users, and the cost of being wrong.
Connect the workflow, evaluation data, human judgment, and production feedback so every release is based on evidence.
They fail because the workflow is poorly defined, context is missing or unreliable, edge cases go unhandled, and nobody agreed on what “good” meant.
Missing medication context hides a contraindication, so the agent proceeds when a clinician should review the case.
Reviewers focus on examples that matter. Evals protect what already works. Production tells you what to improve next.
Choose one valuable workflow. Map the users, constraints, risks, and what success must look like in the real world.
Architecture follows the job, the users, and the cost of being wrong.
Define quality with examples, evidence, and repeatable checks.
Human review is part of the system—not an apology for imperfect automation.
Use the simplest system that can do the job reliably and evolve with evidence.
Your engineers should understand, operate, and extend what we build.
