# Production release control kit

Use this kit to ship AI systems with evaluation evidence, rollback paths, owner approvals, launch notes, and monitoring gates. AI releases should be operated like software releases with additional quality, authority, and data-boundary checks.

## What it includes

- A release gate checklist for evaluation, security, data boundaries, tool authority, telemetry, rollback, and support readiness.
- A risk log for known regressions, accepted exceptions, compensating controls, owner approval, and expiry.
- A release schema for candidate, evidence, decision, owner, rollback, launch window, and monitoring gate.
- A launch brief for release scope and watch plan.
- A post-launch watch map for rollback triggers.

## How to use it

Require a complete release packet before broad rollout. Launch with a watch window and named owner. Roll back when quality, latency, cost, incident, or escalation thresholds cross the agreed gate.
