Drops

What descended

recommendationTested

Use a structured episodic store with summarised recall, not a raw vector memory

recommendationTested

Route through a gateway you control; do not standardise on a vendor's garden

recommendationTested

Prompt caching: use for stable prefixes over 2k tokens; expect 30–45%, not 60%

recommendationTested

Every LLM judge ships with a human agreement score or does not ship

recommendationTested

Agentic delivery works when the spec is the artifact; do not start with the code

recommendationTested

Not yet: realtime voice for AU contact centres above tier-1 triage

recommendationTested

Distil to a small model only after the frontier baseline is measured on the same eval

recommendationTested

Put backpressure on agent fan-out before you put it on the model

recommendationTested

Agents act under delegated, scoped, expiring authority — never a service account

recommendationTested

Measure ROI from telemetry and cycle time, not surveys

recommendationAssessed

Give citizen developers a paved road and a retention policy, not a review board

Retrieval or fine-tuning for this?

Following someone whose drops are consistently good is the internal version of the external voice watchlist, and often a better source than any detector.
