    $25-35/hr per specialist. Most teams start with one eval lead who builds the golden datasets, then add human evaluators as release cadence increases.

    A human-labeled calibration set is scored by both the judge model and human evaluators; correlation is tracked per release and the judge prompt is re-tuned when it drifts.

    Golden dataset accuracy, regression results on previously fixed failures, safety category coverage, latency and cost per request, and any open high-severity findings.

    Separate but adjacent. Evaluation measures whether the model is good; red teaming tries to break it. Many teams staff both from the same pod — see our AI red teamers.
