- Enhance team efficiencies by automating routine tasks within Foreman Probe operations.
- Enable comprehensive benchmarking of LLMs' capabilities and limitations through structured probe tasks.

The proposal outlines a projected budget for the MVP set at $90,000, allocated over 12 months to ensure meticulous development within established constraints.
