Benchmark suites, or a closed-book QA set with per-split correct, hallucinated and abstained.
Score a model against your suites and flag what regressed against a baseline, direction-aware.

Evaluation is the gate behind every other pipeline. Score a model on your benchmark suites, or compare a champion and a challenger on the same harness, and get a verdict a person can act on.
Benchmark suites, or a closed-book QA set with per-split correct, hallucinated and abstained.
Run the model, and the baseline if you supplied one, on the same questions.
A gate confirms the comparison is valid before any verdict is read.
eval/delta asks whether it gained; eval/forgetting asks whether it lost what the champion knew. A regression blocks.
The models, the suite or QA set, per-split scores, the delta and forgetting verdicts, and the accept or reject decision.
Lower-is-better metrics are not read backwards.
A challenger that learned new facts but lost old ones is caught.
Nothing is promoted or registered here; this pipeline produces evidence.
