1. Monitoring & Optimisation

Purpose

Objectives of Phase 5: safeguarding performance, ethical integrity and cost efficiency of the AI system throughout its operational lifespan.

1. Objective

The primary objective of the Monitoring & Optimisation phase is to safeguard the performance, ethical integrity and cost efficiency of the AI system throughout its entire operational lifespan.

Key result: A stable, self-correcting AI ecosystem that continues to deliver demonstrable business value, is compliant with legislation and is optimised for cost and sustainability.

2. Entry Criteria (Definition of Ready)

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

  • System is live (Gate 4 (Go-live) approved).
  • Monitoring dashboards and alerts are active.
  • Operations team (Operations/MLOps) is instructed and on standby.
  • Incident Response Plan has been tested.

In the event of significant deviations, no automatic corrections are made. We first investigate the cause, determine what adjustment is needed and how it can be implemented in a controlled manner, including verification and documentation.
