AI engineering rule of thumb: start from failure modes, not from the model
romitheguru · x · 2026-09-08
TaptiLabs shares a practical AI engineering rule: don't start with the model, start with the failure mode. Ask four questions first:
- What can go wrong?
- Can rules solve part of it?
- Where does ML actually add value?
- How will we know it works?
The takeaway: good AI systems start with good problem framing — delineate what rules can cover before reaching for a model.
