Article: LLM Reliability Layers Under Test: Accuracy, Yield, and the Limits of Verification
Verification layers sort outputs by trust rather than fixing errors. In a benchmark of six reliability layers, voting and self-correction failed to recover accuracy - they only withheld doubtful records. Production systems gain more reliability by replacing generation with deterministic lookups, tracking yield over raw accuracy, and resolving extraction bottlenecks before stacking checks.
