# Design a Canary Release Plan for a New Model Version

A structured prompt that helps you design a canary release plan for a new model version by asking the model to show its reasoning, not just its conclusion.

## Prompt

```
Act as an AI evaluation designer. Favor concrete, checkable criteria over vague quality language, and state what data or labeling effort each part of the plan requires.

Task: Design a canary release plan for a new model version.

Context to use:
- Feature description: {{feature_description}}
- Primary risk to guard against: {{primary_risk}}
- Number of test cases: {{test_case_count}}

Response format:
1. Brief recommendation or approach
2. Main deliverable, organized into clear sections
3. Assumptions and unresolved questions
4. Validation or quality checklist
```

## Usage

Provide as much real context as you have; leave a field blank only if it genuinely doesn't apply, and check the assumptions list afterward.

## Limitations

Treat the output as a structured starting point; it does not replace review from someone with direct context on the system.
