02
Architecture & integration
How the solution connects into existing data, tools and systems.
03
Testing and evaluation
Structured evaluation practice behind the delivered capability.
04
Data & security controls
Handling of sensitive data across the delivery lifecycle.

Human oversight
Where humans review, approve or can override system outputs.
06
Monitoring & support
Ongoing monitoring and support once a system is live.
