Quality before trust

Create criteria and reviews to know when an AI deliverable is ready to use.

AI Engineering Excellence10 hours5 sessions of 2 hours

The topics, in plain language

  1. 01

    Acceptance criteria

    Clear conditions a deliverable has to meet before anyone calls it ready.

  2. 02

    Adversarial review

    Look for contradictions, gaps and the situations where the result could fail.

  3. 03

    QA: quality assurance

    Organise checks to reduce defects before releasing work.

  4. 04

    CI: checks with every change

    Run checks automatically every time a project changes, so problems show up early.

  5. 05

    Evaluation and reliability

    Test results against set cases and criteria, and keep watching whether quality holds over time.

Why it matters

A convincing deliverable still needs checking. You learn to look for failures, test what matters and keep a record of the evidence.

What you will be able to do

  • Define observable criteria for approving a deliverable.
  • Apply a critical review and record the issues found.
  • Choose checks proportionate to the impact of the task.

An everyday example

Review a report. Check the figures and sources, see whether the evidence supports the conclusions and record the corrections before you present it.

How to apply it

  1. Set three approval conditions before execution.
  2. Examine the deliverable and record the failures found.
  3. Correct it, check again and preserve the review evidence.

Your first application

The deliverable passes if . The most significant error would be . I will test it with .

Fill in the blanks with your own work. This is the deliverable you take out of the module.
