Start where coordination hurts.

One domain. Explicit boundaries.

Identify the entities, events, dependencies, and commitments that shape the decision. Agree who owns the outcome and what authority the system may exercise.

Start with historical, synthetic, or read-only data. Replay familiar situations and compare proposed responses with current practice. Define the evidence that would justify moving beyond shadow mode.

Connect controlled actions only after the data contracts, policy checks, approvals, and recovery behavior have been tested. Expand to more sites or decision types as the model earns confidence.

Pin a released version and use its supported interfaces. Test the failure cases as well as the preferred response: missing evidence, conflicting proposals, denied actions, and required approval.

The implementation remains technology-stack agnostic. Your team chooses the surrounding applications, models, infrastructure, and operating experience.
