From pilot to operation: the step many underestimate
A prototype is quickly built. Running productively and monitored is the real work.
A prototype impresses in the meeting – and then fails on Monday morning, when real data and real edge cases show up.
The path into operations means: catching error cases, setting up monitoring, clarifying responsibilities and having a plan for when something does go wrong.
That's exactly where many stop. For us, that's where the real work begins, because a solution isn't finished until it runs reliably without us too.
