Open-source LLM observability for tracing, evaluating, and debugging AI applications in development and production.

Why it matters for PMs: Pinpoints whether a bad answer came from retrieval, the prompt, or the model — the triage that decides next sprint.

Automated evaluation and security testing for LLM systems, with scored failure detection.

Why it matters for PMs: Quantifies hallucination and safety risk before launch, giving you a defensible go/no-go number for legal and execs.
