track · the observability stage

Every promise you made.
Watched in production.

Track binds every target set back at Capture to a live signal. What you promised is exactly what you watch, so the spec keeps holding after the work ships.

the problem

The targets get set. Then forgotten.

A response time, an uptime, a limit. Written into the requirements at the start, and never checked again once the work is live. The promise made at the beginning and the system running at the end stop having anything to do with each other.

what it does

A promise, and a signal that proves it.

every target, a signal
Each measurable target from the spec gets a live signal that shows whether it held once real traffic arrived. Nothing is left to a memory of what was agreed.
promise equals watch
What you promised at Capture is what you watch in production. The two are the same list, not two lists that drifted apart.
the spec keeps holding
Proof does not stop at deploy. The contract goes on being checked against reality, so the work has to keep meeting it, not just meet it once.

The reliability targets Capture captured already say what Track should watch. The last stage reads the same contract as the first.

promise, meet signal

The line you promised. The line you watch.

The target set at Capture and the signal read in production are the same list, checked against each other while real traffic runs. Not two lists that drifted apart.

what gets watched

Every number you promised. Live.

The measurable targets from the spec each become a signal in production. Not a dashboard someone built from scratch and hoped was right. The same list Capture wrote.

speed
The latency target holds, or it does not. The p95 you promised is the p95 on the wall.
uptime
The availability you signed up for, measured against the error budget it implies. When the budget runs low, you know before the customer does.
limits
Rate limits, throughput, saturation. The ceilings the spec set are the ceilings the system is watched against.
a breach names the promise
When a signal crosses the line, the alert says which requirement broke, not just which metric moved. You get the promise, not a mystery graph.
where it sits

The last stage. The one that never stops.

Track is where the pipeline meets production and stays there. It closes the loop that Capture opened, and it is the fifth stage of five, from a rough ask to a proof that keeps proving.
