Temporal Cut

BM25 tells us what is relevant. HydraDB decides what may ground the answer.

One real benchmark conflict, live. The same ranking on both sides — on the right, the claim graph removes the document that still asserts the retired value and backfills the next candidate from the same ranking. Same model, same prompt, same document count.

      Based on the fallback experiment matrix (Document 1), EXP-002 uses the **egress-cost-delta** as its cost-metric. The measurement basis for this is specified in the telemetry recipe as: - **egress_gib_rate{experiment_id="EXP-002"}** — sourced from the network collector plus sampled trace attribution - Additional instrumentation requires emitting egress bytes by **src_region->dst_region at 1-minute resolution** for cross-region tests The document notes this egress metric is "new," and no specific dollar rate per GiB is provided in the catalog excerpt.

      +$0.085 per GiB, GiB-based billing

      Per the canon claim graph, the current EXP-002 eu-west→us-east egress_cost_rate is **$0.085 per GiB**, using GiB-based billing as the measurement basis. (The previously used value of $0.05 per 1k tokens, ~$180/hour at 1000 rps, has been superseded and is retired.)
