The guided path

Twenty-seven minutes, end to end.

Six interactive stops, in the order the questions actually come up. Nothing to install and nothing to read first — each one is a working model you can push on. If you only have time for one, take the second.

  1. 01
    Where it sits in an app you already have

    The seam between your application and the framework — what the host keeps, what the platform brings, and what is refused in each direction.

    ~4 min · interactive
  2. 02
    Who sees what

    One question, two people, two correct answers. Then move the scope predicate out of the query and watch two specific failures appear — one of which reports nothing at all.

    ~5 min · interactive
  3. 03
    Nothing a passage can do

    Untrusted content in model context is the design, not an oversight. Poison a document, run the turn, and watch where the attack stops — including the one that does not.

  4. 04
    How you know a change made it better

    What fifty labelled questions buy you: a retrieval suite that needs no model calls, the selection test almost nobody runs, and a gate that stops a regression shipping.

  5. 05
    What it actually costs

    An editable model, prices included. In the worked deployment, a quarter of the bill is suggestions nobody asked for — and that is the line most teams never look at.

  6. 06
    What it would take for yours

    Fourteen findings from a real conformance assessment, in dependency order, priced by what deferring each one costs later.

Start with the question you need to answer.

Architecture

The reference, at the depth you need.

Read the product as a layered system or inspect the source-shaped framework. Both describe the same boundaries and request path.

Evaluate & operate

Quality, cost, and boundaries are part of the design.

Technical reference

Trace the system from surface to source.
