Latency Budget
The maximum acceptable delay that governance controls can add to AI request processing without degrading user experience.

The maximum acceptable delay that governance controls can add to AI request processing without degrading user experience.
Why It Matters for AI Governance
Governance controls must operate within tight latency budgets. PII detection, policy evaluation, and audit logging should add less than 50ms to request processing. Gateway architectures optimize for low-latency governance.
How CrewCheck Handles This
CrewCheck's LLM gateway applies latency budget-related controls at the request boundary. Every AI call passes through detection, policy evaluation, and audit logging — ensuring that latency budget is addressed consistently across all teams and providers.
The governance dashboard provides real-time visibility into latency budget events, with drill-down capabilities for compliance officers and exportable evidence for auditors.
