Before / After

From a demo that breaks to a system that ships

One real workflow, one cohort, six weeks.

Before · Week 0

A prototype that demoed well

  • Broke the moment real users arrived
  • Around 70% accurate on real inputs
  • Failures took hours to debug
After · Week 6

A system that ships with confidence

  • Holds up under real production load
  • 90% accuracy in production
  • Failures caught by evals in minutes
90% Production accuracy up from 70%
100% Confidence gain in one cohort
6 wks Prototype to production start to ship
70% → 90% production accuracy, in under 6 weeks.
