# Jev evaluations

> Use Jev to score a finished session against a question with known answers.

A Jev evaluation reads a **finished session** and gives a score from 0 to 1. Use it when the answer is known in advance, such as “Did the customer express urgency?” or “How frustrated was the customer?” It helps you find patterns across runs; it does not stop a tool call. For decisions made **before** a tool runs, use [Jev policies](/policies/jev).

## Create one in the dashboard

1. Open **Analyze → eval authoring** and select **new eval**.
2. Describe one question and its possible answers. For example: “Did the agent promise a refund before checking the refund policy? Answer yes or no.” Select **draft** and review that the result is a classifier score.
3. [Test it](/evaluations/test) on recent sessions, then [deploy it](/evaluations/deploy). New completed sessions are scored; [backfill](/evaluations/deploy#score-sessions-you-already-have) if you also need history.

The assistant can choose between code, Jev classification, and a [judge](/evaluations/judge). Check its choice before deploying. Jev gives a score without prose reasoning; choose a judge when you need an explanation. See the [Jev evaluation reference](/reference/jev-evaluations) for question types and score limits.

## Read the scores

Open **Observe → Evaluations** to chart the result by agent and time. From a terminal, the Cloud CLI can read the same results:

```bash theme={null}
fp evals --since 7d
fp evals --aggregate --since 7d
```

The Cloud CLI reads results; authoring and deployment happen in the dashboard. See the [Cloud CLI reference](/reference/cloud-cli#evaluations) for filters.
