Detect drift. Enable A/B prompt optimization. + +--- + +## 1. Why This Exists + +An automated daily briefing is only valuable if it remains **relevant**, **grounded in our work**, **concise**, and **actionable**. Without explicit quality control, three failure modes are inevitable: + +1. **Relevance decay** — sources drift toward generic AI news +2. **Grounding loss** — fleet context is injected but ignored by the LLM +3. **Length creep** — briefings grow too long or shrink to bullet points + +This framework defines the rubric, provides an automated scoring tool, and establishes a process for continuous improvement. + +--- + +## 2. Quality Rubric + +Every briefing is scored across five dimensions (0–100 each). Weights are tuned to Alexander's acceptance criteria. + +| Dimension | Weight | Target | Measured By | +|-----------|--------|--------|-------------| +| **Relevance** | 25% | ≥ 70 | Presence of AI/ML keywords aligned with Hermes work | +| **Grounding** | 25% | ≥ 70 | References to fleet repos, issues, commits, architecture | +| **Conciseness** | 20% | 80–100 | Word count landing in 600–1200 words (≈ 10–15 min audio) | +| **Actionability** | 20% | ≥ 60 | Explicit recommendations, implications, next steps | +| **Source Diversity** | 10% | ≥ 60 | Breadth of unique domains represented in briefing | + +### 2.1 Relevance + +**Keywords tracked** (representative sample): +- LLM, agent, architecture, Hermes, tool use, MCP +- Reinforcement learning, RLHF, GRPO, transformer +- Local model, llama.cpp, Gemma, inference, alignment +- Fleet, Timmy, Nexus, OpenClaw, sovereign + +A briefing that touches on 30%+ of these keyword clusters scores near 100. Fewer than 3 hits triggers a warning. + +### 2.2 Grounding + +Grounding requires that the briefing **uses** the fleet context injected in Phase 0, not just receives it. + +**Positive markers**: +- Mentions of specific repos, open issues, recent PRs, or commits +- References to wizard houses (Bezalel, Ezra, Allegro, Gemini) +- Connections between external news and our live architecture + +**Penalty**: If `fleet_context` is present in the payload but the briefing text contains no grounding markers, the score is halved. + +### 2.3 Conciseness + +The target is a **10–15 minute audio briefing**. + +At a natural speaking pace of ~130 WPM: +- 600 words ≈ 4.6 min (too short) +- 900 words ≈ 6.9 min (good) +- 1200 words ≈ 9.2 min (good) +- 1950 words ≈ 15 min (upper bound) + +Wait — 130 WPM * 15 min = 1950 words. The current evaluator uses 600–1200 as a proxy for a tighter brief. If Alexander wants true 10–15 min, the target band should be **1300–1950 words**. Adjust `TARGET_WORD_COUNT_*` in `quality_eval.py` to match preference. + +### 2.4 Actionability + +A briefing must answer the implicit question: *"So what should we do?"* + +**Positive markers**: +- "implication", "recommend", "should", "next step", "action" +- "deploy", "integrate", "watch", "risk", "opportunity" + +### 2.5 Source Diversity + +A briefing built from 8 arXiv papers alone scores poorly here.

Drift Detection + +Drift is measured by **Jaccard similarity** between the vocabulary of consecutive briefings. + +| Drift Score | Meaning | +|-------------|---------| +| > 85% | High overlap — briefings may be repetitive or sources are stale | +| 30–85% | Healthy variation | +| < 15% | High drift — briefings share almost no vocabulary; possible source aggregation failure or prompt instability | + +**Note**: Jaccard is a simple heuristic. It does not capture semantic similarity. For a more advanced metric, replace `detect_drift()` with sentence-transformer cosine similarity. + +--- + +## 6. A/B Prompt Testing + +To compare two synthesis prompts: + +1. Run the pipeline with **Prompt A** → save `briefing_A.json` +2. Run the pipeline with **Prompt B** → save `briefing_B.json` +3.

Recommendations Engine + +`quality_eval.py` emits concrete recommendations based on low scores: + +- **Relevance < 50** → Expand `RELEVANCE_KEYWORDS` or tighten source aggregation filters +- **Grounding < 50** → Verify `fleet_context` is injected and explicitly referenced in the synthesis prompt +- **Conciseness < 50** → Adjust synthesis prompt word-count guidance or ranking threshold +- **Actionability < 50** → Add explicit instructions to include "Implications" and "Recommended Actions" sections + +--- + +## 8.
