+## Core Metrics by Task Type
+
+### Classification Tasks
+
+| Metric | Formula | When to Use |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| **Accuracy** | (TP + TN) / Total | Balanced classes |
+| **Precision** | TP / (TP + FP) | Cost of false positives high |
+| **Recall** | TP / (TP + FN) | Cost of false negatives high |
+| **F1 Score** | 2 * (P * R) / (P + R) | Imbalanced classes |
+| **Cohen's Kappa** | (Accuracy - Expected) / (1 - Expected) | Inter-rater agreement |
+
+```python
+from sklearn.metrics import classification_report, confusion_matrix
+
+def evaluate_classification(predictions: list, labels: list) -> dict:
+    """Comprehensive classification evaluation."""
+    report = classification_report(labels, predictions, output_dict=True)

+        },
+        "confusion_matrix": cm.tolist()
+    }
+```
+
+### Generation Tasks
+
+| Metric | Measures | Limitations |
+|--------|----------|-------------|
+| **BLEU** | N-gram overlap with reference | Doesn't capture semantics |
+| **ROUGE** | Recall of reference n-grams | Better for summarization |
+| **BERTScore** | Semantic similarity via embeddings | Computationally expensive |
+| **Perplexity** | Model confidence | Doesn't measure correctness |
+
+```python
+from evaluate import load
+
+def evaluate_generation(predictions: list, references: list) -> dict:
+    """Evaluate generated text against references."""
+
+    # BLEU score
+    bleu = load("bleu")

+
+## LLM-as-Judge Evaluation
+
+### Why Use LLM-as-Judge
+
+- **Scalable**: Evaluate thousands of outputs quickly
+- **Nuanced**: Can assess quality dimensions hard to quantify
+- **Consistent**: More consistent than multiple human raters
+- **Cost-effective**: Cheaper than human evaluation at scale
+
+### Basic Judge Prompt
+
+```
+You are an expert evaluator assessing the quality of AI-generated responses.
+
+Evaluate the following response on a scale of 1-5 for each criterion:
+
+## Criteria
+
+### Accuracy (1-5)
+- 1: Contains major factual errors
+- 3: Mostly accurate with minor issues
+- 5: Completely accurate and factual
+
+### Relevance (1-5)
+- 1: Does not address the question
+- 3: Partially addresses the question
+- 5: Fully addresses all aspects of the question
+
+### Clarity (1-5)
+- 1: Confusing and poorly organized
+- 3: Understandable but could be clearer
+- 5: Clear, well-organized, easy to follow
+
+### Completeness (1-5)
+- 1: Missing critical information
+- 3: Covers main points but lacks detail
+- 5: Comprehensive and thorough
+
+## Input
+Question: {question}
+
+## Response to Evaluate
+{response}
+
+## Evaluation
+Provide your evaluation in the following JSON format:
+```json
+{
+  "accuracy": <1-5>,
+  "accuracy_reasoning": "<brief explanation>",
+  "relevance": <1-5>,
+  "relevance_reasoning": "<brief explanation>",
+  "clarity": <1-5>,
+  "clarity_reasoning": "<brief explanation>",
+  "completeness": <1-5>,
+  "completeness_reasoning": "<brief explanation>",
+  "overall_score": <1-5>,
+  "summary": "<one sentence summary>"
+}
+```
+```
+
+### Pairwise Comparison Judge
+
+```
+You are an expert evaluator comparing two AI responses.
+
+## Task
+Determine which response better answers the user's question.
+
+## User Question
+{question}
+
+## Response A
+{response_a}
+
+## Response B
+{response_b}
+
+## Evaluation Criteria
+Consider: accuracy, completeness, clarity, and helpfulness.
+
+## Instructions
+1. Analyze both responses carefully
+2. Identify strengths and weaknesses of each
+3. Choose the better response or declare a tie
+
+Respond with JSON:
+```json
+{
+  "analysis_a": "<strengths and weaknesses of A>",
+  "analysis_b": "<strengths and weaknesses of B>",
+  "winner": "A" | "B" | "tie",
+  "confidence": "high" | "medium" | "low",
+  "reasoning": "<why the winner is better>"
+}
+```
+```
+
+### Judge Implementation
+
+```python
+class LLMJudge:
+    """Automated evaluation using LLM-as-judge."""
+
+    def __init__(self, judge_model: str = "claude-opus-4-5-20251101"):
+        self.judge_model = judge_model
+        self.judge_prompt = self._load_judge_prompt()
+
+    def evaluate_single(
+        self,
+        question: str,
+        response: str,
+        reference: str = None
+    ) -> dict:
+        """Evaluate a single response."""
+        prompt = self.judge_prompt.format(
+            question=question,
+            response=response,
+            reference=reference or "Not provided"
+        )
+
+        result = llm.complete(prompt, model=self.judge_model)
+        return json.loads(result)
+
+    def evaluate_batch(
+        self,
+        test_cases: list,
+        responses: list
+    ) -> dict:
+        """Evaluate a batch of responses with aggregation."""
+        scores = []
+
+        for case, response in zip(test_cases, responses):
+            score = self.evaluate_single(case["question"], response, case.get("reference"))
+            scores.append(score)
+
+        return self._aggregate_scores(scores)
+
+    def pairwise_compare(
+        self,
+        question: str,
+        response_a: str,
+        response_b: str
+    ) -> dict:
+        """Compare two responses head-to-head."""
+        # Run comparison in both orders to reduce position bias
+        result_ab = self._compare(question, response_a, response_b)
+        result_ba = self._compare(question, response_b, response_a)
+
+        # Reconcile results
+        if result_ab["winner"] == "A" and result_ba["winner"] == "B":
+            return {"winner": "A", "confidence": "high"}
+        elif result_ab["winner"] == "B" and result_ba["winner"] == "A":
+            return {"winner": "B", "confidence": "high"}
+        else:
+            return {"winner": "tie", "confidence": "low"}
+```
+
+### Reducing Judge Bias
+
+| Bias Type | Mitigation Strategy |
+|-----------|---------------------|
+| Position bias | Randomize response order, run both orders |
+| Verbosity bias | Instruct judge to focus on content, not length |
+| Self-preference | Use different model for judging than generating |
+| Anchoring | Evaluate responses independently first |

+## Human Evaluation Protocol
+
+### When Human Evaluation is Required
+
+- Creating ground truth for new test sets
+- Validating LLM-as-judge correlation
+- High-stakes production decisions
+- Subjective quality assessment (creativity, tone)
+
+### Rating Guidelines Template
+
+```markdown
+## Human Evaluation Guidelines
+
+### Task
+Rate AI-generated responses for customer support quality.
+
+### Rating Scale
+Use a 1-5 scale for each dimension:
+
+#### Helpfulness
+1. Does not address the customer's issue at all
+2. Partially addresses the issue but missing key information
+3. Addresses the main issue but could be more helpful
+4. Addresses the issue well with useful information
+5. Exceptionally helpful, anticipates follow-up needs
+
+#### Accuracy
+1. Contains factually incorrect information
+2. Mostly accurate but has errors
+3. Accurate but vague
+4. Accurate and specific
+5. Accurate with appropriate caveats/nuance
+
+#### Tone
+1. Inappropriate (rude, dismissive, overly casual)
+2. Somewhat inappropriate for context
+3. Neutral/acceptable
+4. Professional and friendly
+5. Perfectly calibrated for the situation
+
+### Instructions
+1. Read the customer question carefully
+2. Read the AI response completely
+3. Rate each dimension independently
+4. Provide brief justification for scores below 3
+5. Flag any responses that should be reviewed by a supervisor
+
+### Examples
+[Include 3-5 calibration examples with scores and explanations]
+```
+
+### Inter-Rater Reliability
