A Concrete Evaluation Framework for LLM-Powered Pipelines | Michael Cizmar How to stay confident in your model choices when the landscape changes every 90 days

Most #AI teams don't have an evaluation strategy. They have an evaluation event.

Tested before launch. Shipped. Never looked back.
Meanwhile 3 new models dropped this month, 2 cheaper, 1 probably better for the task.

Here's a 5-step framework 2 fix that: michaelcizmar.com/blog/2026/03...

The Epstein Files Are a Risk Management Case Study Nobody Asked For | Michael Cizmar The Epstein Files exposed a KYC blind spot that no sanctions list can fix β€” here's what modern market intelligence infrastructure needs to do differently.

The #EpsteinFiles aren't just a political story.

They're a #KYC audit nobody asked for - and most PE and hedge fund risk frameworks failed it.

#AI solutions do not scale easily and then the problem becomes the data...

I'm already tired of hearing about the #hussleculture. It seems to project laziness and apathy. While running an award winning small business for 20 years, I tried to instill 1 thought:

"If you are not exceptional, you are obsolete".

Purrview: The Tiny AI Project That Workedβ€”And Why Most Don’t Most AI projects fail. Not because of missing technology.

AI projects fail bcause they’r chartered poorly. I built #Purrview 2 prove the opposite...a tiny tool that detects when a cat enters frame & records it.
1) No POC.
2) No roadmap.
3) No β€œAI transformation.”
4) Use what works
& it works.#AI isn’t failing.AI projects are.

Why Federated Search is Still Relevant Today Glean’s recent blog post claims that federated search is on its way out. However, federated search is more relevant today than ever, and protocols like MCP are enhancing its effectiveness

#MCP does not kill the univeral index, it really just extends it and like all things...it depends on the use case if universal versus #federatedsearch makes sense.

Drive Requirements to Testing with BDD to Deliver AI Successful AI Projects are Focused on Outcomes, Not Simply Outputs

Projects get stuck in the POC Production often because we do not describe the behavior or the work steams we aim to proof. "Is this an image of a cat?" - Asked no one. "Is this claim something we should further review" - Priceless.

Judging LLM Performance By Synthetic Data Is A Failing Approachβ€Šβ€”β€ŠPart 1 Knock-offs are never as good as the real thing

Having the Title be : "Plastic Foodservice Film" and your LLM creating the synthentic queries is not the best method to judge your LLM's performance at finding Seran Rap or saran wrap.
