# Batch Queue Starvation Risk Audit

## Description
Calculates batch queue processing delays and verifies turnaround compliance against provider SLA deadlines.

## Category
`serving`

## Tags
`batch-api`, `queue-starvation`, `sla`, `turnaround`

## When to Use
Audit batch inference jobs to ensure provider queues do not exceed 24h turnaround guarantees.

## Operational Limitations
Evaluates queue entry to completion timestamps.

## Verification Script
Run the deterministic verification checker:
```bash
python3 scripts/check.py examples/synthetic.json
```
Exit codes:
- `0`: Check passed and thresholds satisfied.
- `1`: Threshold breach or operational violation detected.
- `2`: Schema error or invalid usage.

## What the checker recomputes

The original threshold checks still apply:

- `actual_turnaround_hours` must not be > `sla_max_hours`.

Every other declared field is type-checked. A negative value is rejected except for deltas, drifts, and gains. A type check does not, by itself, prove the measurement.

`population` and `observedAt` are required. The bundled examples are synthetic fixtures, not market measurements.

```bash
python3 scripts/check.py examples/synthetic.json
python3 scripts/check.py examples/contradiction.json
python3 scripts/check.py examples/broken.json
```

Exit 0 is a pass, exit 1 is a review, and exit 2 is invalid input. A pass does not certify a provider, a regulation, a release, or a price.
