Intent and implementation
Model evaluation is a critical component of the machine learning lifecycle. It provides data scientists with the tools to measure, interpret and explain the performance of their models. MLflow plays a critical role in accelerating model development by offering insights into the reasons behind a model’s performance and guiding improvements and iterations. MLflow offers many industry-standard native evaluation metrics for classical machine learning algorithms and LLMs, and also facilitates the use of custom evaluation metrics.

Verification
Project adaptation: get_control returns a concrete evidence request, a proposed test, and an acceptance condition. A control description or product feature is not evidence of deployment or effectiveness.
