Pretty much. I've been advocating this for a while. For automation you need intent, and for comparison you need measurement. Blast radius/risk profile is also important to understand how much you need to cover upfront.

The Author mentions evaluations, which in this context are often called AI evals [1] and one thing I'd love to see is those evals become a common language of actually provable user stories instead of there being a disconnect between different types of roles, e.g. a scientist, a business guy and a software developer.

The more we can speak a common language and easily write and maintain these no matter which background we have, the easier it'll be to collaborate and empower people and to move fast without losing control.
