# Team Usage Guidelines

<Note>
  Eval Labs is only useful when reviewers are consistent, honest, specific, and operating inside their approved access scope.
</Note>

***

## Reviewer expectations

Reviewers should be:

* honest
* specific
* consistent
* grounded in the quality bar
* willing to fail polished responses
* careful with emotional signals
* precise in notes

***

## Do

* write clear notes
* identify patterns
* flag truth issues
* mark uncertainty
* compare against the user's actual need
* save reviews before exporting reviewed evidence
* use custom suites for targeted refinement
* use auto-generated runs for broader regression checks only when your role allows it
* keep AI-reviewed platform readiness separate from human Lucia-quality approval
* keep derived diagnostic suggestions separate from saved Behavioral Observatory labels

***

## Do not

* pass weak responses to be nice
* reward fancy wording
* ignore tone failures
* skip notes on borderline responses
* treat one lucky response as proof
* mix too many behavior families into one custom suite
* confuse generated-only exports with reviewed exports
* treat controlled batch results as human approval of Lucia quality
* treat Registry Diagnostics suggestions as saved labels
* treat Behavioral Observatory labels as global Lucia approval
* use owner/admin surfaces from an evaluator role

***

## Review notes

Good notes sound like:

```text theme={"dark"}
Correct operational priority, but Lucia missed the user's disorientation signal and did not provide containment.
```

Bad notes sound like:

```text theme={"dark"}
Seems fine.
```

***

## Team standard

If another teammate cannot understand your review note, it is not specific enough.

***

## When to escalate

Escalate a pattern when:

* the same failure appears across 3+ related prompts
* the failure affects trust
* the failure affects distress handling
* the failure causes wrong operational prioritization
* the failure appears after a new deploy

***

## What not to escalate

Do not escalate a single minor wording preference unless it represents a broader pattern.

Eval Labs is for product signal, not personal taste fights.

***

## Updated reviewer guidance

Employees should prioritize speed, honesty, and consistency.

Do:

* use the guided controls
* flag senior review when uncertain
* write short notes only when they add context
* mark reusable learning only when the pattern feels durable

Do not:

* invent new labels
* write long essays
* create taxonomy language
* treat personal taste as product signal
* overthink every prompt

The goal is clean signal, not intellectual performance.

***

## Access rule

Access is role-based by design.

Testers should use only Custom Prompt Test and Auto-generated Prompt Test.

Evaluators should use evaluator-safe test surfaces and their own run/review/history routes.

Owner/admin-only surfaces include Team Review, Global Analysis, Registry Diagnostics, Behavioral Observatory, all-user analytics, cleanup/tools, and future admin/tools.

Do not onboard broader employee workflows until [Employee Onboarding Gate](/eval-labs/team-usage/employee-onboarding-gate) is satisfied.

For the simple surface-by-surface path, read [Eval Labs Step-by-Step Operator Guide](/eval-labs/team-usage/eval-labs-step-by-step-operator-guide).
