Reliability

Measure the AI failure before it becomes the customer’s problem.

Diagnostic pages for evaluation gates, RAG failures, and model migration parity. Use the metrics, scenarios, and thresholds to turn an urgent trigger into a system your team can operate.

Choose the trigger

Production AI Reliability

Each page is a qualified entry point for a specific production trigger. Use the detailed matrix, scenarios, metrics, and evidence requirements to decide whether the scope fits.

AI Reliability Engineering

LLM Evals Before Launch

A production-shaped evaluation system for teams that need golden cases, calibrated graders, failure slices, CI gates, and clear release thresholds before an AI launch.

Best fit: The average score improves while a high-risk customer workflow gets worse.

RAG Reliability Engineering

RAG Retrieval Failure Diagnosis

A diagnostic playbook for separating ingestion, retrieval, ranking, context assembly, citation, and answer failures with stage-level metrics and a repair sequence.

Best fit: The knowledge base contains the answer but ingestion or chunking makes it unretrievable.

Model Migration

Model Migration Parity Plan

A migration plan for teams moving models or providers that need quality, safety, latency, cost, data-region, and rollback evidence before shifting production traffic.

Best fit: The target provider is API-compatible but changes refusal, format, tool, or citation behavior.

Operating pattern

Diagnosed · changed · verified

The shared pattern is simple: name the production boundary, map the failure, change the critical path, and keep the evidence or evaluation suite with the team.

01

Name the trigger

Every page names the artifact, owner, access, and decision that should exist after the work.

02

Map the system

Every page names the artifact, owner, access, and decision that should exist after the work.

03

Change the critical path

Every page names the artifact, owner, access, and decision that should exist after the work.

04

Prove it holds

Every page names the artifact, owner, access, and decision that should exist after the work.

FAQ

How to use this library

The pages are written to answer the questions a buyer or engineer asks before a focused engagement: what is in scope, what evidence exists, how is it tested, and what remains outside the claim?

Which reliability page fits a live AI failure?

Use Evals Before Launch when a release decision is unclear, RAG Retrieval Failure when the system returns wrong or unsupported knowledge answers, and Model Migration Parity when a provider or model change creates a deadline.

Do reliability pages assume a particular vendor or framework?

No. The metrics, scenarios, and artifacts are framework-neutral. Existing tools can remain in place when they expose the traces, versions, datasets, and release actions the workflow requires.

How do you connect metrics to business outcomes?

The system links model and retrieval behavior to completed workflows, verified resolution, escalation, latency, retries, cost, and user impact. A better offline score is not accepted if the completed workflow gets worse.
