Most AI failures stem from poor management, not poor models. Research-backed analysis of three habits that produce reliable AI output: Define (specify what done looks like, use clarifying questions, keep rules short), Feed (provide accurate and minimal context, curate focused knowledge bases, keep documents fresh), and Check (use fresh-context review, rubric-based evaluation, and always keep a human at the final gate). Backed by peer-reviewed studies including a Berkeley multi-agent failure analysis, Stanford context-poisoning research, and Chroma's context-rot findings across 194,000 model calls.
