In a white paper for the Data Foundation’s Center for Evidence Capacity, Senior Fellow Lauren Damme, Ph.D. shares the development of EvalAssist, an open-source model to support rigorous study design for early career evaluators. Her journey began with the aim of testing and releasing a simple GPT model, but led to the development of a new, human-centered framework for evaluating AI assistance tools.
