AI systems need behavioral monitoring to catch gradual failures

Traditional infrastructure monitoring is insufficient for enterprise AI systems, as failures often manifest as gradual behavioral degradation rather than immediate outages. A key metric for early detection is the context growth rate, which can signal upstream issues like duplicated retrieval chunks or recursive tool outputs. Implementing behavioral monitoring alongside infrastructure metrics, such as tracking context growth, retrieval duplication, and reasoning consistency, provides crucial visibility into operational drift before significant problems arise.
