Evaluating AI-generated slide decks for Contra Labs. Each one scored and critiqued, with written feedback going back to the team.
A quick look tells you it's wrong. Knowing why takes twenty years.
Working To A Short Clock
Evaluation work arrives with a deadline attached, and the deadline is usually short. Under that kind of time constraint, the easy move is to grade on first impressions, because working out why something is not landing takes longer than noticing that it isn't.
Experience is what closes that gap. After twenty years of building this material by hand, I am not reasoning my way to a diagnosis, I am recognizing one. That is the difference between a review that is fast and a review that is shallow.
A Note On What Is Shown
This engagement is covered by an NDA. No client, product, output, criteria or methodology appears here. Everything above is my own background and approach, brought to this work rather than learned from it.
