Pattern

How the work usually shows up.

From capability to product

Model behavior only matters after the workflow, interface, cost, and failure modes make sense.

Quality and constraints

Evaluation, latency, reliability, and cost are product decisions, not cleanup work after the model is chosen.

Technical direction

The useful decisions are often what to measure, what to ignore, and what the team should stop doing.
