Acceptance Threshold

Thresholds make deployment decisions accountable. Without one, readiness is a judgement call made under commercial pressure, and systems go live because the date arrived. With one, the question becomes whether the measured performance on the organization's own evaluation set meets the standard agreed in advance for that class of work — which will differ sharply between a document summarizer and an eligibility determination.

Because evaluation in Centralpoint runs against the organization's own corpus with full context retained, a threshold can be expressed in terms that mean something: groundedness on this question set, refusal composition on these categories, variance across repeated runs. The figures come from the same logging surface that governs production, so pre-deployment measurement and ongoing monitoring are the same instrument.
