FDE-07 · Production operations and incident response
Launch progressively, measure the end-to-end service, respond to degraded behavior, and improve reliability without hiding model uncertainty behind infrastructure health.
- Elaboration
- Defines service indicators for accepted outcomes, critical failures, latency, cost, review load, and adoption. Uses shadow, limited-authority, canary, and staged rollout modes with explicit promotion and rollback gates. Runs incident command from observable evidence and separates containment from root-cause remediation. Promotes field failures into evals, runbooks, controls, and ownership changes.
