BM Watch
The short answer
BM Watch puts quality, cost and behaviour on one timeline per request. It traces retrieval, tool calls and generations, accounts cost per request, and alerts on drift and quality regressions before customers feel them.
BM Watch ties together quality, cost, and behavior in one timeline. Drift, cost spikes, broken tools, all caught before customers feel them. Most agent incidents turn out to be tool incidents, which is why the trace covers tools as closely as it covers generations.
What it does
- Per-request cost & latency
- Drift & quality alerts
- Tool & retrieval tracing
- Model & prompt versioning
What it connects to
- BM Agents and third-party agent runtimes
- Model provider APIs
- Existing logging and APM stacks
- Alerting and on-call tooling
Controls
- Traces retained under your retention policy
- Access scoped by role
- Prompt and model versions pinned to each request
- Cost budgets with alerting thresholds
- Drift alerts
- Real-time
- Cost insight
- Per request
Figures come from delivered engagements and depend on volume, data quality and process maturity. The measurement window behind any of them is available on request.

What to instrument before your first agent goes live
Traces, evals and cost caps are not a phase two. Here is the minimum you need in place on the day you put an agent in front of a customer.
- Issues caught pre-customer
- 83%
- Mean time to diagnose
- < 10 min
- Cost variance
- ±6%
The engagement it sits inside
A product on its own rarely solves the loop. This is the engagement BM Watch is normally delivered as part of.
Production engineeringProduction AI Agent Development
Production AI agent development is the engineering that turns a working demo into a system you can operate: evaluation suites, guardrails, tool integration, observability, rollback and an owner. Branemind builds agents to that standard, and will tell you when a workflow does not need an agent at all.
Questions we get asked
Does BM Watch only work with your agents?
No. It instruments third-party agent runtimes too. The instrumentation guide is published as a use case on this site.
