// evalsAssistant evals
The chat assistant on this site is graded against a fixed scenario suite. Every claim it makes about Andrew Carmer is checked against the resume data, and every reply is checked for the failures this assistant actually had: highlighting the page without answering in words, drifting outside its scope, and accepting a premise the resume contradicts.
The graders are deterministic. An LLM judge would be another model to pay for, tune, and distrust; these checks are reproducible and fail for a reason you can read.

How it runs
The suite lives in content/evals.yaml and runs against the deployed site, not a local stub, so it grades what a visitor actually gets — including the real system prompt, the real prompt cache, and the real cost. A run of 10 scenarios costs about $0.26.
