SKILL_PATH // DATA ANALYST / SCIENTIST

Measure AI quality. With statistical rigor.

Your metrics, A/B testing, and statistical skills already transfer.

You already do metrics, significance testing, and dashboards. The jump to AI evaluation is natural — you just need to learn what to measure and how LLM quality metrics differ from traditional analytics. The data scientist who can calibrate an LLM-as-judge and build confidence intervals around eval scores is exactly what employers can't find.
