Office Briefings (stub)

Office Briefings are paid, evidence-backed decision aids for specific throughput and cost-control questions. They are scoped, non-promissory, and designed to be reviewed by a senior engineer before adoption.

Scope boundary

This index covers Office materials on throughput and cost control via idle-time elimination. That includes both:

  • inference pipeline controls (connections, concurrency, backpressure)
  • operator workstation surfaces that reduce recovery friction (persistent sessions, reconnect, replay)

It excludes: training and fine-tuning, prompt/content strategy, vendor pricing claims, and benchmark numbers that are not backed by a reproducible harness and raw measurements.
