Multi-agent handoffs: the latency tax nobody measures
Multi-agent pipelines pay a latency tax at every handoff. Here is how to measure serialisation, transport and re-prompting cost, and what to fix first.

Multi-agent systems: when they quietly degrade
Multi-agent LLM systems drift into slow, costly behaviour without failing loudly. Here is what to instrument, what to budget, and how to catch the slide.

Multi-agent systems: why failures hide
Why multi-agent LLM pipelines fail silently, and how per-agent tracing, schema validation, budget enforcement, and loop detection make those failures loud.

Why your multi-agent system degraded slowly
Multi-agent systems can lose p99 responsiveness while every agent stays healthy. Here is how payload creep, queueing and retries compound, and how to measure it.
