Your evaluation set
- Check: 3 test questions so far.Aim for at least 50 real questions before a pilot, spread across the documents and including refusals. 50 is a working volume, not a guarantee of accuracy.
- Check: 1 question names a document with no version or date.An answer can only be checked against the version it was written from.
- Check: 1 question has no expected answer or reason to refuse.Without it a reviewer cannot say whether the assistant was right.
- Check: 1 question has no reviewer.Name who will judge the assistant’s reply to each question.
A readiness score says the groundwork is in place. It says nothing about how accurate the assistant will be: only this test set, run and reviewed, shows that.
How it is produced, and accepted.
Each stage ends in something you review; acceptance is tested against criteria agreed at the start.
