“The context layer encodes what your metrics and entities mean”

A context layer that encodes what metrics and entities mean is presented as a needed part of AI-ready data, along with an access layer that lets agents query live systems and write back.

“you should be looking at data first to inform your understanding”

The author argues that eval work should start with error analysis of real data before any evaluator is written, and that automated tools should support this rather than skip it.

“scope the eval to focus on one error at a time”

The author recommends scoping each evaluator to a single failure and separating code-based checks from LLM-as-a-judge checks, and reading judge prompts and code closely.

“most of the money was going on context the model had already seen”

Cloudflare's cost analysis showed that prompt caching with Anthropic models dominates AI review spend, since cache writes and reads made up most of the cost, so understanding cache behavior became a cost lever.
