Defining an SLO for a deterministic API is easy. Defining one for a model that's 'usually right' is where it gets interesting.
Separate availability SLOs from quality SLOs.
Quality regressions need a different alerting path than 500s.
Publish the error budget where product managers can see it.
An SLO nobody trusts is just a dashboard.

If you can't measure it, you can't autoscale it. Prometheus, OTel, SLOs.
