Framework
Main Branch
Is the inference serving layer the bottleneck?
Level 1
Is GPU memory pressure evicting the KV cache?
Level 2
GPU memory utilization: 94%; KV cache eviction rate up 800% vs baseline
Level 2
Fallback to paged KV cache adding +240ms per request at p99
Level 1
Is dynamic batching creating queue depth spikes?
Level 2
P99 queue wait time: 12ms → 380ms under 10× load (SLA: <50ms)
Level 2
Max batch size capped at 8 — tuned for <200ms SLA at 1× load, no auto-scale policy
Main Branch
Is the RAG retrieval layer adding latency under load?
Level 1
Is the vector store throughput saturated?
Level 2
Vector index hitting 7.9K QPS (limit: 8K) — 12% of queries experiencing retry backoff
Level 2
Embedding server latency: 12ms → 85ms under load (embedding model not horizontally scaled)
Level 1
Is context assembly triggering expensive context-window switches?
Level 2
k=10 chunks × 512 tok = 5,120 context tokens, forcing 4K→8K context switch on 68% of requests
Level 2
8K context window increases inference time 1.4× due to quadratic attention cost
Main Branch
Is semantic caching failing to absorb repeated queries?
Level 1
Is the semantic cache similarity threshold misconfigured?
Level 2
Cache hit rate: 22% vs expected 40% for FAQ-heavy traffic pattern at 10× load
Level 2
Cosine similarity threshold set to 0.97 — nearest neighbors at 0.91–0.95 not being served from cache

Sharpen Your Judgment
Get pressure-tested on which problems matter, which questions to ask, and how to prioritize
Churn is rising — I'd invest in a retention program.
Thinking
AssessUser jumps to solution without diagnosing root cause
LocateMissing: churn segmentation, cohort analysis, CAC vs LTV comparison
DecidePush back — force hypothesis-driven diagnosis before solutioning
That treats the symptom. What would tell you *why* they're leaving — and whether retention is even the right lever?
