Metaphor Labs
Design partner program

Measure the opportunity before changing production behavior.

For teams running AI agent workloads in production or serious staging. Start with a shadow analysis of traces, logs, or replay traffic. Metaphor looks for repeated work, execution inefficiency, freshness risk, and provenance gaps before any user-facing behavior changes.

WHAT YOU GET

A low-risk evaluation.
Evidence you can act on.

01

Share traces or replay traffic

Start from exported traces, logs, or mirrored requests. No production-path change is required.

02

Baseline repeated work and execution cost

Identify semantically equivalent requests, repeated deterministic work, and serial execution that may be avoidable.

03

Assess freshness and provenance

Find where source changes should invalidate prior results and where output lineage is incomplete.

04

Receive prioritized findings

Get a trace-backed view of the highest-value opportunities and risks to decide whether a deeper pilot is worthwhile.

DESIGN PARTNER INQUIRY

Tell us about the workload.

We’ll use these details to assess whether a shadow analysis could surface meaningful cost, latency, freshness, or traceability opportunities.

No production-path change is required for an initial conversation or shadow analysis.
