Doddi's Enterprise Reality Check

[!IMPORTANT] Architect's Reality Check: Benchmark scores and marketing announcements often omit TTFT latency overhead, cold starts, and memory fragmentation in multi-tenant environments. In production on Google Cloud Run, evaluate sub-150ms token latency and context caching guarantees before committing to frontier reasoning models.
