Why this matters
AI-assisted features can fail in subtle ways that escape normal happy-path testing.
Foundation checklist
- Define deterministic checks for every business-critical flow.
- Add output guardrails before user-visible response rendering.
- Capture prompt and model version metadata in logs.
- Add regression snapshots to detect drift.
- Measure latency budgets for both fast path and fallback path.
Suggested rollout path
Start with one workflow, validate quality and latency, then expand to adjacent workflows.
