Four-mission proof sprint
Do the work. Keep the evidence.
Check a mission only after the proof exists. Progress stays in this browser and also appears in the Modern Skills catalog.
-
01
Define the user decision
Choose one narrow user problem and specify what a useful, harmful, and abstaining answer looks like.
Proof: A product brief with an initial evaluation set. -
02
Ground the response
Add retrieval only where current or private source material is actually required.
Proof: A citation-aware prototype and retrieval failure cases. -
03
Measure quality and cost
Track latency, cost, task success, unsupported claims, and user correction rate.
Proof: A small scorecard with thresholds. -
04
Ship the thin slice
Deploy with access control, logging boundaries, fallback behavior, and a kill switch.
Proof: A live demo plus an operational readiness review.
