Framework

Is output quality degrading without a model change?

Is hallucination or factual drift increasing due to prompt or context changes?

Factual accuracy on product Q&A dropped from 91% to 74% after knowledge base was expanded 3× in scope

Retrieval precision at k=5 fell from 0.82 to 0.61 — new documents diluting relevance signal

Has output style or tone drifted from user expectations?

Average response length increased 2.4× (180 → 430 words) after system prompt update in week 6

68% of 1-star ratings include "too long" or "not what I asked" in free-text feedback

Is the user experience degrading even if outputs are technically correct?

Are context window limits causing session truncation in long conversations?

Sessions >8 turns: satisfaction 2.8/5 vs 4.3/5 for sessions ≤4 turns — 34% of sessions are >8 turns

Context truncation events up 180% QoQ as users try longer workflows; model loses earlier instructions

Is perceived latency worsening even if p50 is stable?

p99 response time: 340ms → 1,100ms (3.2×); streaming disabled on mobile — users see blank screen for 1+ second

Mobile DAU increased 41% QoQ; p50 stable masks p99 spike under heavier concurrent load

Are users hitting capability gaps where the assistant fails to help?

Is intent coverage declining as user query complexity increases?

Multi-step query failure rate: 8% → 27% QoQ; single-step failure rate unchanged at 4%

"Cannot help" deflection rate up 62% — driven by new enterprise use cases not in fine-tuning data
