Stretching tokens only works if quality is protected.
Quality is measured per pattern by validation pass rate against a versioned validator schema. TokenOne® authorises the most efficient execution path that historically clears the threshold (default 90%). When confidence, quality or latency thresholds are not met, the workload escalates and re-runs · invisibly to your teams.
Defined per pattern. Enforced per call.
Quality is a contract, not an aspiration. Every workload pattern has a validator schema, a threshold, and an escalation rule. Every call is checked. Every miss is logged.
Threshold per pattern
Default 90% validation pass rate, configurable per project, per workload, per customer.
Most efficient path
TokenOne’s optimisation protocols pick the path that stretches tokens furthest while clearing the threshold · never below it.
Escalation on fail
When validation fails, the workload promotes one tier and re-runs. Audit-logged.
Drift detection
Pattern-level regressions trigger alerts. Suppression and quarantine for runaway patterns.
Latency SLAs
p50 / p95 / p99 per workload. Endpoint health feeds back into routing in real time.
Quality reports
Validation rate, escalation rate, latency distribution · per project, per customer, per period.
Output validation, beyond syntax.
- JSON schema compliance · the contract you advertised to your clients.
- Tool-call shape · required arguments present, types correct, enums valid.
- Completeness · refusal tokens, truncation, empty content.
- Format compliance · code blocks, citations, structured fields.
- Safety token presence · model-side refusals captured before they propagate.
- For RAG workloads (opt-in via Guardrails): grounding check against retrieved sources.
Escalation, not silent failure.
1. Detect
Validator returns failed kinds. Reason captured.
2. Decide
Escalation engine picks the next tier and the cause.
3. Re-run
Same prompt, stricter model, same trace · replayable.
4. Record
Both attempts logged with verdict, cost, latency.
5. Surface
Pattern-level metric updates. Drift detector watches the trend.
6. Promote
Repeated failures promote the pattern’s minimum tier.
