Prevent, Verify, Contain: The Three Bills of AI Safety
AI safety is a budget: prevention, verification, and containment each buy different protection at a different cost. This map shows what each control costs and when it pays off.

Production-grade LLM agents require deterministic machinery around the probabilistic model, not a larger model. A maturity model defines six levels: determinism, evaluation, confidence, safety and governance, operability, and production-grade build, each assuming the one below. Teams should fix their weakest level in order, starting with determinism before evals, and contain the model to a single node in a fixed graph where it proposes actions a separate component applies after approval. A self-assessment checklist with items like evals as a CI gate and layered guardrails helps teams identify their current level, with fewer than half ticked indicating they are earlier than the demo suggests. The post links to a series of 25 deep-dive articles covering each rung of the maturity model.
