An AI training log tells you what it studied. It doesn't tell you what you can trust it to do.
Last night, two AI specialists passed a review of simulated business cases. They identified missing evidence, challenged blanket rules and explained what they would test next.
That was progress. It was not proof of better client results.
When evaluating AI for your team, separate three questions:
1. Can it explain the subject accurately?
2. Can it make a sound recommendation when the evidence is incomplete?
3. Does that recommendation improve a measured outcome in practice?
Each requires different evidence. Reading supports the first. Reviewed exercises test the second. Controlled application tests the third.
Before giving an AI specialist more responsibility, decide what evidence would justify it.
More output isn't the standard. Better decisions are.
