An evals check is a moment of honest, structured self-assessment or peer review — borrowed directly from the AI world where 'evals' (evaluations) are the benchmarks you run to see how well a model is actually performing versus how well you think it is. In internet slang, running an evals check on someone — or yourself — means cutting through the vibes and actually measuring: are you performing, or just presenting the impression of performance? The concept is spreading from tech discourse into general use, especially in productivity and career contexts where people are tired of fake metrics.
Before you put that on your resume, do an evals check — is that actually what you contributed or is that what you wish you contributed?
