A practical introduction to practicing AI evaluation with evidence, clear rubrics, and structured reasoning.

Practice before you rely on intuition

AI evaluation is not about guessing what a reviewer wants. It is about making a clear judgment using the available evidence and an explicit rubric.

A useful practice loop has three steps:

  1. Read the task and identify the decision required.
  2. Collect the evidence that supports or weakens each option.
  3. Write a concise rationale that explains the trade-off.

What good practice looks like

Good evaluation practice is specific. Instead of writing “Option A is better,” explain which evidence supports that conclusion and why an alternative is weaker.

This kind of work helps you understand whether structured AI evaluation is a good fit for your interests and strengths.
