This isn’t rocket science. It’s basic data science.

“Should I optimize my models?”

Yes, if your model provider lets you

“Should I optimize my harness?”

Yes

“My context?”

Yes

“This is a lot of work”

Yes

“Where should I start?”

By looking at your data and identifying the layer that can improve the most common set of errors
