1. Development

Purpose

Objectives of Phase 3: building a robust, production-ready AI solution that meets all quality and safety requirements.

1. Objective

The primary objective of the Development phase is to build a robust, production-ready solution that meets all quality and safety requirements.

Key result: A fully functional AI system ready for go-live, including automated tests and documentation.

2. Entry Criteria (Definition of Ready)

Before this phase starts, the following conditions must be met:

  • Gate 2 (PoV Investment) is approved.
  • The Validation Pilot has demonstrated that the solution works (>90% score).
  • The Cost Overview is positive and approved.
  • The development team is complete and has access to all required resources.

Controlled Behaviour Changes

Changes to the behaviour of an AI system are implemented in bounded steps. Per change, we record:

  • the intended effect,
  • the applicable boundaries and limits,
  • how it is determined that the change meets the objective and Hard Boundaries.

Only after successful verification is a change permanently applied.

Templates for this phase:
