1. Deployment and monitoring, the post-release stage where a live system is observed for drift and slow degradation

   Plausible but wrong: this control precedes any build, so it cannot be the post-release monitoring stage.
2. Use case assessment, the early stage where the justification and risk of a proposed AI project are evaluated ✓

   Correct: evaluating necessity and risk before data or modeling is exactly the use-case assessment stage.
3. Data acquisition and use, the stage governing how training data is sourced, licensed and quality-checked

   Almost right: this is the next stage; the control here occurs before data collection begins.
4. Incident management, the stage defining how AI failures are detected, escalated, and remediated post-release

   Plausible but wrong: incident management handles failures after deployment, not pre-project justification.

How to remember it

Evaluating necessity and risk before data or modeling is the use-case assessment stage.
