LLM reliability layers

Stop Stacking Checks: Verification Layers Can't Fix What Generation Breaks

Verification layers don't fix broken outputs, they just sort them. In a benchmark of six reliability layers, voting and self-correction failed to recover accuracy, only withholding doubtful records. The smarter path? Replace generation with deterministic lookups, track yield over raw accuracy, and fix extraction bottlenecks before stacking more checks. It's a practical shift that prioritizes production reliability over chasing perfect scores.
