Decision-maker overview
A concise non-implementation path through what CALIBER is, what it solves, and where to go next for technical proof.
This page is the shortest non-implementation path through what CALIBER is, what problems it solves, and where to go next for technical proof.

1. What CALIBER is
CALIBER is not only an evaluation tool and not only a workflow canvas. It is a governed platform for the full lifecycle around LLM-powered artifacts and workflows:
- author
- test
- calibrate
- review
- apply or release
- observe
2. Why teams adopt it
The platform is most useful when a team needs more than isolated prompt testing. Its value comes from keeping the lifecycle, evidence, and control surfaces in one system rather than scattering them across separate point tools.
3. Deployment model
The repository supports two real deployment shapes:
- embedded with MLflow in one app/process boundary
- standalone CALIBER service talking to MLflow over HTTP
Use the deep technical docs when you need the exact topology and trust-boundary details.
4. Governance posture
CALIBER is designed to keep authority explicit.
In practical terms, that means:
- evidence generation is not the same as live release
- calibration is not hidden autopilot
- approvals and apply/release paths remain visible control points
