Capability Readiness Assurance

Review capability readiness using evidence from solution design, contract or service definition, testing, operations, permissions, monitoring, support, fallback, lifecycle, risk, and ownership before release.

A formal readiness decision prevents automation solutions from being released without clear evidence, accepted risks, remediation actions, and business and operational ownership.
