An approved plan assigning monitors: Before handoff approval, which evidence is most important?
Require documented ownership, thresholds, escalation, fallback, and decommissioning authority before handoff.
The question
For an EU customer-service deployment subject to applicable EU AI Act obligations and the provider’s internal lifecycle policy, development has documented validation results, but no team has accepted responsibility for post-deployment monitoring, incident escalation, fallback, or decommissioning. Before handoff approval, which evidence is most important?

- A named operations owner with monitoring duties and escalation authority.This improves accountability but remains incomplete without thresholds, fallback arrangements, and authority for decommissioning.
- A supplier support commitment covering incidents during the service term.Supplier support may assist with incidents, but it does not establish the provider’s internal monitoring, fallback, or retirement authority.
- An approved plan assigning monitors, thresholds, escalation, fallback, and retirement authority. ✓The plan demonstrates competent oversight and lifecycle management by defining who monitors, when intervention occurs, how service continues safely, and who can retire it.
- The final validation report from development.Validation informs readiness but does not assign operational responsibility or authority after handoff.
The trap
A handoff is incomplete when monitoring, escalation, fallback, and retirement authority remain unassigned. How to remember it
Require documented ownership, thresholds, escalation, fallback, and decommissioning authority before handoff.
