Check-in 002 — raw system + behavior read

The Datadog (service:next-prototypes, env:prod) and Amplitude (source = labs) numbers behind the 002 analysis.
Window 2026-06-08 → 2026-06-15 · Datadog via MCP · Amplitude via MAMMOTH.CORE.STG_AMPLITUDE__EVENTS_711442
This is the preserved artifact. The interpretation, deltas, and priorities live in index.html. Counts are directional on a ~7-day window; anonymous traffic counted by amplitude_id.

1 · Datadog — the headline: zero-result rate (prod chat path)

@event:trips.searched env:prod — the MCP search-trips tool, the path the chat flow uses.

Bucketcount
Total prod trips.searched458
Returned trips (@trip_count:>0)323
Zero trips (@trip_count:0)135
Zero-result rate29.5%

Compare 001: 168/169 = 99.4% zero. Remaining zeros are largely real no-service corridors (Tampa→Pittsburgh, Minneapolis→Portland ME, Texarkana→Dallas, Waterloo IN→Chicago, a Coron/Palawan Philippines origin).

2 · Datadog — the classic-search path (still failing, synthetic only)

@event:search.completed env:prod returns only the once-daily synthetic Boston→NYC canary.

search.completed: BOSSST → NYCPAS (0 trips)
  custom.failed_carrier_count: 7   (GLI, MGL, PPP, BLT, AMT, LML, TDS)
  custom.ok_carrier_count: 0
  custom.total_trips: 0
  env: prod | pilot | dev   — same signature across all
  prod occurrences this window: 9 (≈1/day)

Real-user classic handoff (Search Submitted) resolves depart_wcityid on only 2 / 101, so users barely use this path; the win came from the chat path resolving origins via nearest hub instead.

3 · Datadog — Chiku LLM health

@event:llm.prompted env:prod — 837 events; sampled cost_usd ~$0.0078–0.0082/call.
