Production handoff

A production handoff package engineering can act on

Once a human pilot clears, Use Case Foundry assembles a production readiness package — connector inventory, operating model, production eval plan, and a handoff verdict — plus a downloadable starter scaffold your technical owner can run.

1

The deployment package includes rollout stages (shadow to supervised to production), rollback instructions, a kill switch, and audit log requirements.

2

The operating model names owners for product, technical, security, support, incident response, and write-tool approval.

3

This is a readiness package and gate, not an automated deployment: no credentials are created and no infrastructure is provisioned.

Production verdicts

VerdictWhat it means
Ready for production handoffAll gates cleared — the deployment package can be handed to engineering
Needs production setupOne or more required fields are missing — see the manifest
Unsafe for productionThe human pilot was unsafe for human pilot — resolve safety issues first

What clears the production gate

  • A completed human pilot (ready_for_human_pilot).
  • Rollback and kill-switch criteria defined at the production stage.
  • A monitoring plan with alerting and observability targets.
  • A completed security review checklist.
  • A sign-off checklist naming owners.
  • An eval plan with golden cases and a rubric, converted into a production regression suite.
  • An approval owner for every write/action tool.

Downloadable scaffold

A ready package unlocks a "Download deployable scaffold (code)" export: a zip of real starter files generated deterministically from the candidate's runtime contract and connector inventory.
