For Figure AI, it helps to think in terms of inputs, constraints, verification, and iteration.

One important area is cost control. Define what a good result looks like before changing tools or settings, then test one variable at a time so you can tell what actually improved the outcome.

Another area is learning curve. Keep examples of both strong and weak outputs, check important facts or generated code independently, and document settings that produce consistent results.

The main takeaway is that Figure AI becomes much more reliable when the workflow includes clear inputs, repeatable checks, and a way to learn from previous results.
 
The point about figure and cost is interesting. In practice I would keep the first test simple, record what worked, and only add extra complexity if it solves a specific limitation. The original point — "For Figure AI, it helps to think in terms of inputs, constraints, verification, and iteration. One important area is cost control. Define what a good result looks like before chan…" — gives a useful starting point for that comparison.
