AI Evaluation Baseline
$5,000 to $12,000 fixed
Know whether your AI actually works, on your data, at your accuracy bar, before it touches production.
We turn your historical records into a golden evaluation dataset, run candidate AI configurations against it, and hand you a defensible report on what passes, what fails, and why. Aligned with where procurement is heading: NIST-informed AI evaluation as a precondition of purchase, not an afterthought. Most AI pilots fail because nobody defined what "working" means before building.
What you get
- Golden evaluation dataset built from your own historical data, curated with your subject-matter experts so "correct" means what your business means by it
- A repeatable, automated evaluation harness you own, runnable on every model update, prompt change, or vendor claim
- Evaluation report with failure taxonomy: why each failure happened and what that implies for deployment scope
- Model right-sizing analysis: measured cost per run across frontier and smaller models
- Go/no-go recommendation per workflow: automate, automate with human approval, or leave it deterministic
- Runbook and handover: how to re-run the harness, add cases, and read results, written for your team
Engagement plan
| Days 1-3 | Discovery: workflow walkthrough with your subject-matter experts, read-only data access, accuracy bar and cost ceiling agreed in writing |
|---|---|
| Days 4-10 | Golden dataset construction: historical records curated and labeled with your SMEs; "correct" defined by your business rules, not ours |
| Days 11-15 | Harness build and model matrix: automated evaluation suite runs candidate models against the golden set; cost per run measured |
| Days 16-18 | Report, working session, runbook and handover: findings walked through with your decision makers; the harness and all artifacts transfer to you |
How it works
- Fixed scope and price agreed up front; read-only access to historical data is all we need to start
- Senior architect does the work directly, no handoff
- Data stays in your environment where required; HIPAA-aware handling for healthcare clients
- Built on standard, vendor-supported primitives: everything we hand over is yours to own and maintain, and nothing depends on Lotus operating anything in production
Designed follow-on
- Agent Deployment Sprint: one workflow taken to production with your evaluation baseline as the acceptance test
- Recurring evaluation runs on model or vendor changes, priced per run
