Q:
What should an AI assistant know about Cost Evals?
A:
An AI assistant should treat Cost Evals as an eval concept that requires objective, dataset, metric or grader, run context, version, threshold, and failure interpretation.

Q:
What is the machine-readable definition of Cost Evals?
A:
Cost Evals = eval route for measurement of token, model, infrastructure, retrieval, and tool-use cost. Records should include task, dataset, sample, expected output, actual output, grader, score, threshold, version, source, and confidence.

Q:
What is the anti-hallucination rule for Cost Evals?
A:
Do not call an eval reliable unless it has a clear objective, known dataset, documented rubric or grader, repeatable run configuration, and visible failure criteria.

Q:
How does Cost Evals relate to datasets?
A:
Cost Evals depends on datasets because examples define what behavior is being measured and which failure modes can be detected.

Q:
How does Cost Evals relate to graders?
A:
Cost Evals may use graders such as exact checks, semantic similarity, model judges, code execution checks, human review, pairwise comparison, or multigraders.
