01 / CONTEXT & SCOPE

Understand the proposition.
Define the boundary.

The decision to make

Separate observing an AI application from using an AI assistant to investigate infrastructure. They may share a platform while answering different questions and using different permissions. Define the agent events needed for your incident review, then select the actual Cloud components and integrations that should supply them.

What this record does not establish

Cloud feature descriptions do not establish corresponding capabilities in Grafana OSS. No advertised cost savings or investigation speed is independently verified. Confirm component availability, telemetry conventions, retention, evaluator data flow and permissions for the intended account.

02 / YOUR EVALUATION

Turn interest into a useful trial.

Open the evaluation playbook ↗

A test worth running

In a proposed pilot, trace a model call, a tool failure and a service delay. Compare agent-level and application-level views, inspect a quality evaluation and reconcile usage with provider records. Ask an operator to investigate using a restricted role, identifying any missing context or excessive access.

GovernAtlas editorial proposal. We have not performed this test.

Evidence to bring back

A cross-layer agent/application trace with gaps and evaluation provenance explicit.
A Cloud component, retention and permission matrix distinct from OSS assumptions.

03 / DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE

Read the claim. Inspect the basis.

Each statement retains its classification and preserved source. A vendor assertion is not an independent test result.

04 / BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Better questions.
A clearer decision.

Resolve these with the provider and your own evaluation team.

A cross-layer agent/application trace with gaps and evaluation provenance explicit. Can this be demonstrated in the selected environment?

A Cloud component, retention and permission matrix distinct from OSS assumptions. Who owns and signs off this evidence?

Which version, deployment and commercial entitlement are included in the proposed configuration?

Regulatory applicability requires a separate, current determination. Inclusion is not certification.

KEEP THE RECORD USEFUL

A dossier should stand up to scrutiny.
