What you'll learn

The vibes problem

Why "it passed our tests" isn't enough; the PM/Legal/Ops trust gap (origin story).

The mental model

What an eval actually is: input → expected behavior → judge. The 4 kinds that matter: correctness, quality, compliance

Hands-on

Catch agent failures before your users (or your customers) do.  Leave with a reusable framework.

Why this topic matters

Building an AI agent is easy now. Trusting it isn't. Most teams ship on vibes, then the  first edge case breaks everything. The skill that fixes it,writing evals, is barely taught. In 60 minutes, I'll walk you through it with field notes and real failures from shipping  agents to production.
