What if · the follow-ups in this answer

The answer works through 6 follow-ups like an interviewer would

A company wants one gateway in front of all LLM providers used internally, with a dozen teams building AI features.

  1. What security functions belong in the gateway?
  2. What should stay in each application?
  3. What if teams bypass the gateway with their own provider keys?
  4. What if the gateway logs every prompt in full?
  5. What if the gateway goes down?
  6. What would you build?

Each rung has a nudge, a model answer, the principle that carries over and the weak answer to avoid. Premium opens every answer and ladder.
