• Create prototypes that demonstrate value quickly, then help evolve successful concepts into durable solutions.

Test and improve

• Define success metrics and evaluation approaches before build, so each solution has a clear bar for what good looks like.
• Test AI solutions for accuracy, usefulness, safety, consistency, and user experience; continuously improve them based on feedback and performance data.
• Monitor solutions in production for adoption and accuracy drift; retire or rework anything that no longer meets its success bar.
