Why this is canonical
'Model evaluation' (or 'evals') is one of the most precisely defined and actively discussed practices in AI development — it is the technical process by which model capabilities, safety properties, and behavioral characteristics are measured. The .app TLD positions this as a developer and practitioner tool, making it the natural address for evaluation platforms, benchmark runners, and capability assessment products.
