Designing the Feedback Loop: Evaluator and Escalation (CCAR-P)

Design end-to-end architectures (input to processing to output to feedback loops)

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
An evaluator-optimizer feedback loop checks output against a rubric and triggers a refinement pass when it fails. A human-escalation path routes low-confidence or high-stakes outputs to a person before delivery. The choice between them depends on whether the failure mode is checkable by rule or rubric, or requires judgment; an architecture missing any feedback path has no mechanism to catch or correct systematic errors after launch.
