In 2025, companies rely heavily on AI tools — but how do we objectively evaluate whether an AI tool is actually reliable?
This article introduces a practical 6-dimension AI capability radar, widely adopted by product, engineering, and operations teams.
Does the AI tool produce consistent results across:
Unstable AI = operational risk.
How correct are the outputs?
Accuracy must be measured by scenario, not globally.
Use:
Can the model:
Controllability determines whether the tool can enter production workflows.
Fast AI drives adoption; slow AI kills usage.
Measure:
Does the AI system expose:
Transparent systems are easier to debug and safer to scale.
Real AI cost = API cost + engineering cost + evaluation cost + monitoring cost.
Understanding cost-performance ensures sustainable usage.
Score each dimension from 1–5, then generate a radar chart.
Teams use this for:
AI capability evaluation must shift from subjective “feeling” to ** measurable, repeatable assessment**.
The AI capability radar provides a shared evaluation language for both business and engineering.
