Shipping AI Features That Survive Production
Evals first, so quality is measured rather than vibed. The delivery pattern for AI features that keep working after the demo — and the four places they come apart.

Shipping an AI feature is largely an exercise in measurement. A demo runs the happy path once on an input someone chose; production runs every path on inputs nobody anticipated, and the gap between those is where most AI features quietly stop earning their maintenance. This category covers the delivery pattern that closes it — evaluation harnesses built before the feature, so quality is measured rather than vibed; retrieval that is filtered by tenant in the query rather than instructed in the prompt; loop control, retry budgets and tool registries for anything agentic; and cost instrumented per feature rather than arriving as one monthly number. It is written for technical readers and assumes competence, so it is light on definitions and heavier on trade-offs. It also names the statistics in this field that circulate widely and trace to nothing, because several of the most quoted ones do.
