# DASF-45 — Evaluate models

Source: [official compendium, Databricks AI Mitigation Controls, row 47](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lD5nKC1QNoUTDXdMp31NA9eKcUYGjhtC34MCfQpqpGo/edit#gid=780486953&range=A47:AB47). Snapshot: 2026-10-22; source revision: DASF v 1.0.

## 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.
