AI evaluation + experimentation

Know which AI change should ship.

Run evals and online experiments on prompts, models, and agents. Winnow tells you when the evidence is strong enough, protects the rollout, and turns production failures into the next test.

Why you can trust the verdict

Method in the open. Data you keep.

Every result shows its test and its assumptions, exports through open standards, and runs on an SDK you can read.

Method + assumptions

Shown, not asserted

Every verdict carries its test, its assumptions, and a could_be_wrong_if. We show the statistics, not just a green light.

Reviewer sign-off

Statistics that passed review

Statistical methods carry a documented sign-off before they back any public claim.

The closed loop

One loop, from evaluation to production and back.

A code change is deterministic: tests pass, you ship. A prompt, a model swap, or an agent tweak behaves differently — the same input can pass today and drift tomorrow, and "looks good in the PR" tells you nothing about production.

Winnow puts the loop back: evaluate with real statistics, ship behind guardrails, watch quality in production, and feed failures back into the evals — so an AI change moves through your release flow with the confidence a code change used to. Then Optimize proposes the next change to test, and the loop repeats.

MEASUREEvaluate the change — detect the quality, safety, latency, and cost effect.
PROVERun the experiment — decide when the evidence is strong enough to choose a variant.
GUARDShip behind guardrails — expose it gradually and stop automatically on regression.
LEARNWatch production — turn real failures into the next golden eval, human-gated.
Statistical rigor

It's better? How sure are you?

Every winner Winnow declares comes with the math a careful reviewer would demand — an assignment-unit result at a planned look, confidence intervals, SRM detection, and anytime-valid intervals you can peek at safely. And it tells you when it might be wrong: every result carries a could_be_wrong_if. We don't ask you to trust the AI; we show you the statistics.

Where Winnow fits.It's strongest when you can define a metric and route real traffic. It isn't a labeling workforce or a data warehouse — bring a metric, connect your gateway, and Winnow does the deciding.
