Day-to-day flow
Most teams work like this:- Author parameters in code via
.traffical/config.yamlandtraffical push. - Create policies in the dashboard — that’s where experiments are configured.
- Watch metrics during the experiment — visit the policy detail page.
- Promote the winner — update the parameter default and mark the policy complete.

Audit trail
Every change in the dashboard is captured in the decision log — policy state transitions, allocation overrides, rollout actions, manual completions, optimization milestones. Use it to answer “who turned this on / who paused it / who promoted that variant”.Next steps
