Guides for teams taking AI systems from a pilot to everyday use.
Explore deployment, monitoring, security, costs and compliance, with practical checks for systems that people will depend on.
Before a pilot goes live
- Define the task and test failure cases with the agent evaluation checklist.
- Decide when work must stop for a person: human handoff patterns.
- Record the cost of every attempt, including failures, alongside the number of accepted results. The agent cost guide includes a runnable accounting example. Use the test record to keep the evidence together.

How to use this hub
Use these guides alongside your project’s release checklist. If a system is moving toward real deployment, read across evaluation, monitoring, security, compliance and cost before treating the pilot as production-ready.
