The call

Start with one low-risk workflow and keep the action in code until Jev clears your evaluation and confidence thresholds.

Turn one repeated decision into a typed Jev call, measure it against your current path, and keep a tested fallback beside it.

When you need this

  • A team has repeated routing, moderation, extraction, or agent-control decisions.
  • A current LLM call returns prose that application code must parse.
  • A small labeled set exists or can be captured during a pilot.

Build the decision

  1. Before work: define the question

    Can the decision be expressed as a small set of options, levels, or a yes/no criterion?

    What good looks likeUse Choice for one option, Score for ordered levels, and Noul for a yes/no question. Keep the action and policy in code.

  2. During work: build the evaluation set

    What examples represent the cases that matter?

    What good looks likeCapture expected answers, edge cases, ambiguous cases, and adversarial inputs. Keep a holdout set for every model change.

  3. During work: set the confidence gate

    When should software act automatically?

    What good looks likeChoose a threshold from the holdout set. Send uncertain or high-impact calls to review and record the reason.

  4. Before merge: test the fallback

    What happens when Jev responds slowly, goes down, or returns a wrong answer?

    What good looks likeKeep deterministic rules, a specialist classifier, or a human queue ready. Test retries and timeouts without duplicating actions.

Questions for the owner

  1. Who owns the labeled examples and threshold changes?
  2. Which actions require a human regardless of confidence?
  3. How will model version changes trigger regression checks?
  4. What input data can reach the hosted endpoint?

Red flags

  • A threshold chosen from a toy example when it should come from labeled examples.
  • An automatic action with no timeout or fallback.
  • A model ID that can change without a regression run.
  • A confidence number treated as proof of correctness.
