LLM Evaluation in Production: A Three-Layer Approach

Shipping an LLM feature is the easy part. Knowing whether it still works correctly six weeks later — after a prompt change, a model version bump, or a shift in user behaviour — is where most teams struggle. This post covers a three-layer evaluation approach that gives engineering teams real confidence in production LLM systems.
