ONE CANARY + REUSABLE MEASUREMENT METHOD
Measure at the Final Request Boundary
A long-scroll visual companion to the article. It summarizes the article evidence boundary and method; it does not extend the underlying result.
At a glance
Evidence in scope
- One related canary: 13,289 input
- 0 cached input; 10 output
- Layer-level attribution: unavailable
Evidence boundary: The canary and its usage fields are one bounded observation; request components were not separately measured.
How to use the diagram
Capture request/version identifiers, safe serialized size/tokens, tool definitions, history boundary, retries, and provider usage response.
What this visual explains: Count the final serialized request and preserve provider-returned usage categories. Do not infer layer shares from the total.
What it does not establish
No component-level allocation or general input/output ratio is supported.
