I’ve been paying too much for repeated LLM calls, using retries and checks to make inconsistent outputs usable. Now I’m building what I call Jev Gates... before an LLM-driven workflow takes a critical action, Jev evaluates specific decision criteria. Code applies the thresholds and hard checks; uncertain cases go to review. Fewer blind retries. Explicit gates before action. Deploying across our stack.
