Core CV
The synthetic résumé they were seeded from.
"Tests features whose behaviour is probabilistic rather than specified. Builds evaluation datasets and scoring methods, quantifies output variance across runs, designs adversarial and safety test suites, verifies retrieval grounding, and monitors drift and cost after release. Produces the evaluation evidence that governance frameworks and emerging AI regulation require."
