What Success Looks Like

Success in this role means the application remains stable, secure, reliable, and continuously improving. Confirmed defects are addressed efficiently and through appropriate change-control processes. Root causes are identified and documented, fixes are independently validated, and recurring problems lead to broader technical improvements where appropriate.

Quarterly AI tuning should produce measurable improvements in the accuracy, consistency, reliability, and usefulness of the platform's AI capabilities while maintaining appropriate security, human oversight, traceability, and change control.
