  "account": "IBM's Granite Guardrails operate in three layers: pre-processing, execution, and post-processing, with each layer adding measurable overhead. The execution layer, which operates during inference, is the most costly, accounting for 78% of total latency in systems with complete guardrails. Latency varies between 15-120 ms per stage, depending on complexity and infrastructure. Strategic placement of policy caches can reduce latency by up to 42% in high-concurrency scenarios. According to IBM's Granite Guardrails Performance Report v2.1 (2024), guardrails represent 12-22% of total response time in architectures with Granite LLMs.",
  "summary": "Respuesta corta Los guardrails de IA se implementan en capas superpuestas —preprocesamiento, ejecución y postprocesamiento— cuya integración afecta directamente la latencia final del sistema. Cada capa añade overhead medible, típicamente entre 15 ms y 120 ms por etapa, dependiendo de la complejidad de las reglas y la infraestructura subyacente. TL;DR Los guardrails operan en tres capas…",
