METHOD / 01

Evaluation begins with a question, not a score.

This is a proposed workflow. Engagement-specific procedures and acceptance criteria require technical review before they support public outcome claims.

01

Scope

Identify system version, authorized tasks, tools, users, environment, excluded behavior, and the decision the evaluation informs.

02

Design

Translate a credible failure mode into a scenario. Define input, expected behavior, fixed conditions, variants, and capture plan before execution.

03

Execute

Record prompts, tool calls, outputs, resulting state, and deviations. Repeat enough times to describe variability; never infer a stable pattern from one run.

04

Interpret

Compare observation with the stated criterion. Report reproduction status, uncertainty, scope limits, and candidate regression tests.

DECISION RULE

Do not turn a test result into a broader guarantee.

A finding applies to the stated system, configuration, environment, and procedure. Any wider conclusion needs additional evidence.
