Audit prompt evaluation graders with frozen case slices for reliable scoring

A prompt evaluation harness's grader model needs to be audited to ensure its scores are trustworthy. Teams should maintain a frozen set of adjudicated cases, separate from the grader's training data, to regularly measure its performance. Key metrics like fail-class recall with a Wilson interval and Cohen's kappa should be reported, stratified by case family, to identify regressions and prevent a single strong family from masking failures in others.

    Audit the Grader Before You Trust the Score

    <h1> Audit the Grader Before You Trust the Score </h1> <p>A score is only as trustworthy as the grader that produced it, and an ungraded grader is the quietest failure mode left in a prompt eval harness. Teams spend weeks hardening prompts, pinning envelopes, and quarantining fla…
