Per-replica metrics identify the bottleneck and a redesigned test improves throughput per cost. This is evidence for a different corrective change: Profile utilization and choose a better architecture, smaller model, or appropriately sized accelerators based on bottleneck evidence. That other change addresses: A GPU-hosted model's throughput falls even as replica count increases because individual replicas are stuck at full memory bandwidth. It does not validate the specific Silverline Insurance remediation for: A compact gradient-boosted tree service spends most of its budget on idle GPUs even though prediction is dominated by CPU operations. The necessary check instead is: A representative load satisfies p99 latency and throughput at lower measured serving cost.

Two independently launched replicas report the same model digest and deterministic fixture outputs. This is evidence for a different corrective change: Pin immutable artifact digests and use a supported storage/loading strategy for model weights. That other change addresses: A large model fetches unversioned weights from mutable object storage on each start, occasionally loading different bytes under the same release label.

The necessary check instead is: A representative load satisfies p99 latency and throughput at lower measured serving cost.

A forced dependency outage produces bounded latency and safe outcomes rather than cascading unbounded failures. This is evidence for a different corrective change: Implement timeouts, circuit breaking, and a safe explicitly documented fallback or rejection behavior.
