LLM Evaluation Human Review and Adjudication

Status: public · Confidence: medium (0.725) · Basis: verified_sources

## TL;DR

Human review and adjudication convert ambiguous LLM evaluation failures into labeled evidence that can guide prompt, model, tool, and policy changes.

## Core Explanation

Automatic metrics and LLM judges are not enough for every product decision. Human review queues let teams sample outputs, assign labels, resolve disagreements, and build higher-quality eval datasets from production or test traces.

Agents should track reviewer instructions, label taxonomy, reviewer identity or role, adjudication outcome, and whether labels are used for monitoring, regression tests, or training data.
