# All guides

Every Stratix guide — task-oriented walkthroughs across the platform, organized by workflow stage and operational concern.

Guides sit between recipes and tutorials in shape. Use a guide when you have a clear goal that's larger than a copy-paste recipe but doesn't need a full guided learning sequence.

Organized below by [workflow stage](/1.-introduction/the-stratix-workflow.md) — **Select**, **Build**, **Observe**, **Evaluate**, **Improve** — plus operational concerns (admin, migration) at the bottom.

## Select

Pick and prepare what you'll evaluate against.

### BYOK models

* [Register a BYOK custom model](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/05-select/guides/register-byok-model.md)
* [Test a BYOK endpoint](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/05-select/guides/test-byok-endpoint.md)
* [Rotate a BYOK API key](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/05-select/guides/rotate-byok-key.md)

### Benchmarks and datasets

* [Upload a private benchmark](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/05-select/guides/upload-benchmark.md)
* [Refresh a benchmark with new data](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/05-select/guides/refresh-benchmark.md)

## Build

Wire Stratix into your code and CI.

### Trace ingestion

* [Set up trace ingestion](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/06-build/guides/setup-trace-ingestion.md)

### Calling Stratix from your stack

* [Calling Stratix from a backend](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/06-build/guides/calling-stratix-from-a-backend.md)
* [Pattern: calling Stratix from Next.js](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/06-build/guides/pattern-from-nextjs.md)

### CI / quality gates

* [Wire CI/CD evaluation gates](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/06-build/guides/wire-cicd-gates.md)
* [Set per-feature quality tolerances](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/06-build/guides/per-feature-tolerances.md)
* [Investigate a regression in CI](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/06-build/guides/investigate-ci-regression.md)

## Observe

Run continuous evaluation over what's already happening.

* [Build a trace set for agentic evals](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/07-observe/guides/build-trace-set.md)
* [Schedule continuous trace evaluation](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/07-observe/guides/schedule-continuous.md)
* [Investigate a failing trace](https://github.com/LayerLens/gitbook-full/blob/main/07-observe/guides/investigate-failing-trace.md)

## Evaluate

Build, standardize, and harden your scoring library.
