LLM evaluation scores, while useful for measuring performance on specific datasets, should not be treated as definitive release gates for production systems. A comprehensive release process requires multiple independent gates that assess factors beyond aggregate scores, such as potential regressions, side effects, and policy violations. Blind spots like slice loss, dataset drift, judge drift, and system omissions highlight the need for detailed regression testing that preserves the full evaluation pipeline and reports slice-level metrics alongside aggregate scores. A strict five-gate release contract, binding all checks to the same candidate model and configuration, ensures that quality metrics do not grant release authority they were not designed for. AI
