A proof of concept often runs on prepared data with a single operator. Product integration introduces multiple users and ongoing failure handling.
Identify missing production work
Review authentication, permissions and data lifecycle. Inventory external services and recurring costs. The proposed rollout needs an owner for each dependency.
Test ordinary failures
Simulate unavailable services, invalid outputs and revoked access. Keep the existing product usable where the workflow allows. Monitor outcomes without recording unnecessary confidential content.
Require an operating handover
Ask for configuration, recovery and evaluation procedures. A second operator follows them in a suitable environment. Compare proposals on this complete delivery. The demonstration remains useful evidence of feasibility, while production acceptance verifies the conditions that prepared examples did not cover.
