Single-Score Model Evaluation
When a team is comparing candidate models during development, it is often useful to condense performance into one metric. A single score, such as classification accuracy or another chosen measure, lets the team rank ideas quickly instead of juggling several separate numbers. This makes it easier to compare many candidates, see which approach is currently best, and decide what to try next without slowing the development cycle.
