Define Evaluation Horizon and Key Decisions
Establish the precise commercial and operational context for evaluating the venture's AI models within the MVP build. Pinpoint the explicit go/no-go decision this evaluation phase informs and the timeframe required to reach a definitive conclusion.
Establishing this horizon isolates technical evaluation from open-ended research and grounds it in immediate business requirements. It ensures the parent task generates actionable evidence to confirm whether the model meets the minimum performance threshold for commercial launch.
The founder must deliver a documented decision charter specifying the core commercial hypothesis, the evaluation window, and explicit go/no-go criteria. This must include signed-off consensus from both commercial and technical leads regarding the decision timeline.
Five questions an expert would ask when reviewing your output
Use these to challenge assumptions, pressure-test your logic, and check the quality of this action's output in the context of the parent task and wider venture development.
- 1
What specific commercial decision hinges directly on this evaluation outcome rather than general product refinement?
- 2
How did you determine that your selected decision horizon provides sufficient time to collect representative performance metrics?
- 3
Why is this specific model evaluation window critical to your overall MVP launch date?
- 4
What evidence confirms that your technical and commercial leads agree on the go/no-go thresholds set here?
- 5
How does this decision horizon prevent your engineering team from falling into indefinite optimisation loops?
