Analyst reasoning (v1.0)

SLA: IBM Cloud SLA is 99.95% for Plus/Enterprise watsonx Assistant tiers. Status page: cloud.ibm.com/status with historical data. Incident history: 3-5 P1 events trailing 12mo typical. Changelog: watsonx Assistant release notes + IBM Cloud What's New monthly+. Reliability case study: IBM customer stories cite watsonx Assistant deployment scale — TRUE. Pillar 2: no formal latency benchmark for watsonx Assistant specifically. Streaming + multi-region edge documented (IBM Cloud regions). Pillar 3: Lite/Plus/Enterprise tiers public, per-conversation pricing on Plus tier, free Lite tier exists. No formal ROI calculator (case studies discuss ROI qualitatively). Pillar 4: canonical 90 (SOC2, ISO, GDPR, HIPAA via IBM Cloud, IBM Trust, HackerOne IBM VDP).
