# AI workflow deployment-readiness checklist

Use for one bounded workflow. This worksheet supports a release discussion; it is not a certification or a complete assessment of all deployment risks.

Workflow:
Accountable owner:
Proposed release scope:
Implementation version:
Policy version:
Eval dataset version:
Review date:

| Decision to establish | Evidence or result | Owner | Status / open question |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trigger and end state are explicit. | | | |
| Relevant ordinary cases and exceptions have been examined. | | | |
| Source links and missing evidence are visible. | | | |
| Intended rules and approval authority have been reviewed. | | | |
| Required and forbidden actions are specified. | | | |
| Missing information leads to an assigned review path. | | | |
| Eval inputs preserve the chosen decision-time context. | | | |
| Both permitted and blocked paths are covered. | | | |
| Checks inspect consequential actions and resulting state. | | | |
| The runner/environment can assess the intended behavior. | | | |
| Relevant failures and variation across trials have been reviewed. | | | |
| Cases reserved from tuning have been assessed where appropriate. | | | |
| Remaining coverage gaps are explicit. | | | |
| Operational follow-up, escalation and recovery have owners. | | | |
| Other applicable release checks are completed by their owners. | | | |

Decision: proceed within stated scope / revise scope / resolve gaps first.
