PRODUCTION CHECKLIST

What the checklist covers
DETECTION & DATA
Does Your Tool Actually Work?
F1, precision, and recall benchmarked across call transcripts, medical records, emails, and chat logs. ML vs. regex. Co-reference resolution. 50+ entity types.
ARCHITECTURE & COMPLIANCE
Missed PII/PHI/PCI is a compliance event.
Private deployment, deterministic output, GDPR/HIPAA/PCI coverage, and defensible audit trail. What you need before an auditor asks.
INTEGRATION & ONBOARDING
If It Takes 3 Months, It Isn't Ready.
API-first with SDK support and time-to-value under 2 weeks. The questions vendors hope you won't ask until after you've signed.
