How to run an offline eval against last week’s traffic
Marcus Osei ·
Hand-written eval sets go stale within a month because the product changes and the questions change with it. Replaying real traffic does not have that problem.
What we changed
Sample across the whole week, not the busiest hour.
Strip PII on the way in, not on the way out.
Keep the failures as a permanent dataset. They are the most valuable rows you will ever collect.
The full walkthrough is in the documentation.
