- Own observability and evals: Manage prompts and traces in Weave (or a comparable tool), craft and run evals, and meet with product stakeholders to understand how prompts are performing
- Make the architecture calls: Decide when to use agents vs. workflows, where logic should live, and how to keep systems flexible as the product evolves
