What you'll learn

The six things every AI demo hides

Evals, edge cases, cost, latency, trust, support - see how each one kills launches, with real anonymized stories.

Write your first three eval criteria this week

Use the provided pattern - quality bar, failure mode, escalation - to turn "we'll evaluate later" into a testable spec.

Diagnose why your feature is stuck and the fix

Locate which of the six gaps is blocking your ship date, and leave with the one artifact that reopens the conversation.

Why this topic matters

An impressive demo is an argument, not a product. Between demo day and ship date live six unanswered questions - evals, edge cases, cost, latency, trust, support and every week they stay open, your feature sits in demo purgatory becoming your credibility problem. This lesson names all six and helps you close the first gap the same week, with eval criteria your eng team can test against.
