Separate familiar performance from transfer
A strong result on a seen configuration does not by itself demonstrate robustness. Evaluation plans can distinguish reference conditions from deliberate shifts in layout, appearance, object pose or instruction.
Make failure useful
Failure categories, task context and replayable traces can help teams decide whether the next step is more data, a different scenario or a change in the policy. The point is not a single score; it is an interpretable loop.
Compare like with like
Consistent task definitions and recorded conditions allow experiments to be compared without hiding differences in the setup. This article is an editorial concept, not a published research paper.
