+# Step 1a: Entry Point & Execution Flow
+
+Identify how the application starts and how a real user invokes it.
+
+---
+
+## What to investigate
+
+### 1. How the software runs
+
+What is the entry point? How do you start it? Is it a CLI, a server, a library function? What are the required arguments, config files, or environment variables?
+
+Look for:
+
+- `if __name__ == "__main__"` blocks
+- Framework entry points (FastAPI `app`, Flask `app`, Django `manage.py`)
+- CLI entry points in `pyproject.toml` (`[project.scripts]`)
+- Docker/compose configs that reveal startup commands
+
+### 2. The real user entry point
+
+How does a real user or client invoke the app? This is what the eval must exercise — not an inner function that bypasses the request pipeline.
+
+- **Web server**: Which HTTP endpoints accept user input? What methods (GET/POST)? What request body shape?
+- **CLI**: What command-line arguments does the user provide?
+- **Library/function**: What function does the caller import and call? What arguments?
+
+### 3. Environment and configuration
+
+- What env vars does the app require? (API keys, database URLs, feature flags)
+- What config files does it read?
+- What has sensible defaults vs. what must be explicitly set?
+

+# Step 1b: Eval Criteria
+
+Define what quality dimensions matter for this app — based on the entry point (`01-entry-point.md`) you've already documented.
+
+This document serves two purposes:
+
+1. **Dataset creation (Step 4)**: The use cases tell you what kinds of items to generate — each use case should have representative items in the dataset.
+2. **Evaluator selection (Step 3)**: The eval criteria tell you what evaluators to choose and how to map them.
+
+Keep this concise — it's a planning artifact, not a comprehensive spec.
+
+---
+
+## What to define
+
+### 1. Use cases
+
+List the distinct scenarios the app handles. Each use case becomes a category of dataset items. **Each use case description must be a concise one-liner that conveys both (a) what the input is and (b) what the expected behavior or outcome is.** The description should be specific enough that someone unfamiliar with the app can understand the scenario and its success criteria.
+
+**Good use case descriptions:**
+
+- "Reroute to human agent on account lookup difficulties"
+- "Answer billing question using customer's plan details from CRM"
+- "Decline to answer questions outside the support domain"
+- "Summarize research findings including all queried sub-topics"
+
+**Bad use case descriptions (too vague):**
+
+- "Handle billing questions"
+- "Edge case"
+- "Error handling"
+
+### 2. Eval criteria
+
+Define **high-level, application-specific eval criteria** — quality dimensions that matter for THIS app. Each criterion will map to an evaluator in Step 3.
+
+**Good criteria are specific to the app's purpose.** Examples:
+
+- Voice customer support agent: "Does the agent verify the caller's identity before transferring?", "Are responses concise enough for phone conversation?"
+- Research report generator: "Does the report address all sub-questions?", "Are claims supported by retrieved sources?"
+- RAG chatbot: "Are answers grounded in the retrieved context?", "Does it say 'I don't know' when context is missing?"
+
+**Bad criteria are generic evaluator names dressed up as requirements.** Don't say "Factual accuracy" or "Response relevance" — say what factual accuracy or relevance means for THIS app.
+
+At this stage, don't pick evaluator classes or thresholds. That comes in Step 3.
+
+### 3. Check criteria applicability and observability
+
+For each criterion:
+
+1. **Determine applicability scope** — does this criterion apply to ALL use cases, or only a subset? If a criterion is only relevant for certain scenarios (e.g., "identity verification" only applies to account-related requests, not general FAQ), mark it clearly. This distinction is critical for Step 4 (dataset creation) because:
+   - **Universal criteria** → become dataset-level default evaluators
+   - **Case-specific criteria** → become item-level evaluators on relevant rows only
+
+2. **Verify observability** — for each criterion, identify what data point in the app needs to be captured as a `wrap()` call to evaluate it. This drives the wrap coverage in Step 2.
+   - If the criterion is about the app's final response → captured by `wrap(purpose="output", name="response")`
+   - If it's about a routing decision → captured by `wrap(purpose="state", name="routing_decision")`
+   - If it's about data the app fetched and used → captured by `wrap(purpose="input", name="...")`
