  • Design and implement connector architecture to enable seamless integration of AI services and data sources
  • Validate platform stability, performance, and scalability to support production-grade workloads

  • Document the service mapping, runbook, and SLA framework to be reused in Phase 2 industrialization

 

Observability & Platform Readiness

  • Implement monitoring dashboards and alerting for platform health, usage, and cost visibility
