At Standard Metrics, I've been leading product teams building AI document parsing for private market data and AI agents for analyzing startups. Recently, I shared some of these learnings in a blog post for the company detailing some of the ways we improved model performance by focusing the job to be done by the model and the context we provide it.

If you're building with LLMs and looking for strategies to improve performance on context rich processes, this post is definitely worth a read!
