Inputs Required
Feature scope (PRD/PRD-lite); data strategy + dataset requirements; evaluation plan + golden set status; risk/threat model; guardrails + escalation/incident runbook; monitoring + instrumentation plan; cost-to-serve estimate; rollout plan + owners.
Output Artifact
Pass/Block decision with evidence links to artifacts (data, eval, safety, monitoring, cost, rollout) + action items, owners, and due dates for anything missing.
When to use this
When you’re about to move from “prototype” to “production” (and again right before launch) to prevent shipping an AI feature that isn’t safe, measurable, or economically viable.
