Question: In one to three sentences, describe how measuring performance on the dev set helps a team decide which ideas to keep refining and which to discard.

Sample answer: Measuring an idea's performance on the dev set lets the team quickly detect whether that idea gives a small or large improvement. This quick feedback allows the team to decide efficiently which ideas are worth continuing to refine and which ones should be discarded.

Key points:

  • Dev set measurement quickly detects small or large improvements from an idea
  • This lets the team decide which ideas to keep refining and which to discard

Rubric: Full credit: mentions that dev set measurement quickly reveals improvement (or lack thereof) and that this informs the decision to refine or discard an idea. Partial credit: mentions only one of these points. No credit: unrelated or missing key concept.
