Lesson 6 of 8 · Evaluate LLM Output Before You Trust It
In this lesson. A score below which you do not release a prompt.
What you will learn
- Gate
- No ship below
- Org habit
Walkthrough
You will set a gate. Below the gate, the prompt does not ship. This is how quality work changes the org, not just the slide deck.
Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of Evaluate LLM Output Before You Trust It is usable skill, not a pile of notes.
If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.
Practice
Set a numeric or rubric gate and the person who can waive it (ideally nobody).
Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
