Covers how to define target metrics before vendor selection, why review scores alone are insufficient, and what features matter in production: prompt versioning with rollback, request-level observability, evaluation workflows (deterministic checks, LLM-as-judge, regression tests), agent/multi-step workflow support, and data security controls. Includes a structured proof-of-concept framework, red flags to watch for, and a 10-point selection checklist. Emphasizes connecting prompt changes to measurable quality outcomes rather than optimizing cost or latency in isolation. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
