Build the pipeline
Chunk → embed → retrieve → answer. RAG, agent loops, evals harness — wired into a working product, not a notebook.

What you'll prove
The clusters every AI Builder candidate is graded on.
Frame the product
Crisp user, JTBD, leading + lagging metric, named guardrails, and the tradeoff you actually resolved with numbers.
Design for trust
Inline citations, honest uncertainty surfacing, recovery flows. The user must verify the answer without leaving the surface.
Ship with proof
Repo runs from a clean clone in under 4 minutes. Eval harness sits next to the pipeline. Narrative names two real tradeoffs.
Sample project brief
Build a grounded answer surface for a real corpus
Take a 30–80 document corpus (your company's, an open dataset, or one of our seed corpora) and ship a working answer surface with measured retrieval quality and honest uncertainty handling.
Deliverables
- · Public GitHub repo with hybrid retrieval + answer pipeline
- · Eval harness with ≥30 queries and Recall@10 / faithfulness numbers
- · 60-second Loom showing the user flow + one rejected design
- · 1-page narrative naming two tradeoffs you resolved with data
How grading works
Transparent rubric. Same bar for everyone.
Each criterion is scored 0–5 with a written rationale. Your score is the weighted sum, published with the rubric so an employer can see exactly what you did.
Engineering
Build quality · evals · code clarity · build narrative
Product
Problem framing · metrics design · tradeoff analysis · narrative
Design
Interface clarity · uncertainty handling · feedback recovery · design narrative
