1. Deliverables & Gate 5 (Monitoring)

Purpose

Overview of mandatory deliverables and Gate 5 criteria for sustainable operation and quarterly reviews of the AI system.

1. Deliverables

The results of the Monitoring phase for sustainable operation:

  • Performance Dashboards: Live insight into technology and business.
  • Performance Degradation Reports: Analysis of data changes.
  • Retrained Models: New versions of the model.
  • Audit Logs: History of decisions and changes.
  • Transparency & Impact Reporting: For internal and external stakeholders.

Gate 5 Review / Periodic Review (Exit Criteria)

In this phase there is no hard 'exit', but periodic reviews (e.g. quarterly). Points for the review:

  • Is the model running stably within the SLAs?
  • Is accuracy maintained (no significant performance degradation)?
  • Does the Business Case (ROI) remain positive?
  • Have there been incidents and were they handled correctly?
  • Does the system still comply with (potentially updated) legislation?
  • Is the backlog of improvements under control?

If "No" on critical points: Consider decommissioning or restart (back to Discovery).
