Stage-wise evaluation

Claude Opus 5.5, 4 Nov. 2026

NLP and argumentation

When a multi-step pipeline gets an answer wrong, the score at the end does not show which step failed. An error early on spoils everything after it. Stage-wise evaluation isolates each step by giving it the gold (human-reviewed) answers for every earlier step. Whatever mistakes it then makes are its own.

For argument maps, that means:

A model that produces the whole map in one go has no separate steps to feed. Its output is scored instead by part: locutions, relations, statement fields and levers, each compared against the gold map.
