Turn the signal into one observable action
Create a ten-case behavioral benchmark from real failures and test one narrow prompt, policy or evaluation change against the unchanged baseline.
The target behavior improves on the written benchmark without a material regression on the control cases.
Ask before you build
- Show three recent examples of the behavior.
- What response or action would have been acceptable?
- Which context predicts the failure?
- How do users correct it today?
- What new failure must the fix avoid?
Professional guardrail: Use a fixed test case and compare completion, regressions and recovery against the unchanged baseline.
