intermediate Published 20 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Identify checks in your AI-assisted workflow
  2. Categorize each check as deterministic, LLM, or human-based
  3. Push each check to the lowest layer it can run on
  4. Implement deterministic tools for checks that don't require human judgment
  5. Use LLMs for checks that require reasoning but not human oversight
  6. Monitor and adjust the workflow as needed to ensure optimal performance
