Access & data boundaries
Define who can access each system, which data a model can retrieve, and which actions require approval. Design permissions around the underlying business responsibilities.
Evaluation & traceability
Agree on evaluation examples, logging needs, retention requirements, and review workflows for your use case. Make it possible to investigate failures and correct them.
Production operations
Plan monitoring, incident ownership, recovery procedures, and update responsibilities before launch. Coverage and response targets are agreed in the engagement.
Your requirements, explicitly scoped
Industry-specific, contractual, and regulatory requirements are reviewed with your team. Any required certification or audit evidence must be confirmed as part of vendor diligence.
