The architecture

Business metrics: task success rate, user satisfaction.

Cost: tokens in/out per task; dollar cost.

How it works end to end

Technical: model latency, tool latency, iteration count per task, memory access counts.

Dashboards: per-tenant metrics for multi-user; per-agent for A/B testing.

Alerts: SLO burn on latency, error rate spike, cost anomaly.
