high cost medium risk

07 Improve Over Time past runs improve the setup review History past runs Analyze better setup? Update saved change Measure

When to use it

  • You run the same AI workflow often.
  • You can save what happened in past runs.
  • You want the system to improve, not just finish one task.

When not to use it

  • Early experiments where you do not have enough history yet.

How it works

Save what happened  then  Look for repeated problems  then  Improve the instructions or checks  then  Measure whether it got better

Things to watch

  • Ask a person to review changes before they go live.
  • You need saved history before you can improve from it.

How to start

  • Choose one thing to improve.
  • Save what happened in each run.
  • Review changes before using them.
  • Keep old versions so you can roll back.
