Helicone
Proxy-based logging, caching and cost tracking for LLM calls.
The governance lens
The property that a system's internal state can be understood from the signals it emits — traces, metrics and logs — without modifying it to ask. Definition and why it matters →
Proxy placement is a governance decision, not a deployment detail — it determines whether the log is inside or outside your control boundary.
There is no shortage of writing about Helicone. This register asks the question the general coverage does not: what does it contribute to governing an autonomous system that touches capital, and where does that contribution stop?
