Timeout Architect
Assign per-hop timeouts so the slowest dependency fails fast instead of dragging everything.
Where should each timeout sit along this call chain?

- P(success / try)
- 71.3%
- P(success w/ retries)
- 97.6%
- Worst-case wait
- 3000 ms
- Retry waste (p99×n)
- 1600 ms
Timeout covers p99; retries mostly fire on true faults, not slow success.
budget 1000ms vs p50 80ms / p99 800ms
effective success ≈ 97.6% after 2 retries
Method
- Deterministic local model of the mechanism — knobs recompute outputs instantly with no network.
- Numbers are teaching approximations, not production capacity guarantees.
