From Production
What Works — And What Doesn't
The patterns that consistently succeed in production, and the mistakes that consistently sink AI initiatives.
What works in production
Outcome-First Design
Tie every system to a measurable business outcome.
Human Approval Gates
Keep humans on consequential decisions.
Observability First
Instrument before you scale.
Evaluation Before Scale
Prove quality with evals, then expand.
Security By Design
Isolation and PII handling from day one.
Governance Early
Policy-as-code before production, not after.
Common AI mistakes
Chatbot Without A Goal
Shipping a bot with no business outcome.
No Evaluation Framework
No way to know if quality is improving.
Weak Knowledge Sources
Garbage in — confident wrong answers out.
No Governance
Autonomy without policy or audit.
No Human Oversight
Letting agents act unchecked.
Ignoring Costs
No token budgets, surprise bills at scale.

Reference
AI Concepts Explained
A plain-English glossary of the terms that come up most in production AI conversations.
- RAG
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation — grounding an LLM's answers in retrieved documents so responses are accurate and current rather than purely from training data.
- Embedding
- A numeric vector representation of text (or other data) that captures meaning, enabling similarity search in a vector database.
- Agent
- An AI system that uses tools and context to take actions toward a task, deciding the next step rather than following a fixed script.
- Agentic Workflow
- Multiple coordinated agents — planner, executor, reviewer — pursuing a business outcome across systems, adapting as conditions change.
- Fine-Tuning
- Further training a base model on domain data to specialize its behavior; complementary to, and often weaker than, good retrieval for knowledge tasks.
- Vector Database
- A store optimized for similarity search over embeddings (e.g. Pinecone, Weaviate), powering retrieval in RAG systems.
- Prompt Chaining
- Composing multiple prompts/steps where each step's output feeds the next, decomposing a complex task into reliable stages.
- Memory
- Persistent context an agent carries across steps or sessions — short-term scratchpad and long-term stores of facts and history.
- MCP
- Model Context Protocol — an open standard for connecting models to tools and data sources through a consistent interface.
- Observability
- Tracing, evaluating, and monitoring AI behavior in production so failures are visible, measurable, and debuggable.
- Reranking
- A second-stage model that reorders retrieved candidates by relevance, sharply improving RAG answer quality over raw vector search.
- Human-in-the-Loop
- Design where humans approve or override consequential AI actions, keeping autonomy governed and accountable.
