2. **Enable Auto-rollback**: Prevent bad code from persisting
3. **Monitor Trends**: Track improvement over time, not just current scores
4. **Integrate with CI/CD**: Make verification part of your pipeline
5. **Use Watch Mode**: Get immediate feedback during development
6. **Export Metrics**: Track quality metrics in your monitoring system
7. **Review Rollbacks**: Understand why changes were rejected
8. **Train Agents**: Use verification feedback to improve agent performance
