Three questions before choosing a platform
1
Does it fit the task?
Compare the real inputs, outputs, data policy, latency and cost requirements.
2
How will we test it?
Agree on evaluation criteria and compare quality, cost, speed and failures on representative tasks.
3
How will we operate or replace it?
Specify data portability, third-party licenses, monitoring and exit responsibility in the engagement.
ARCHITECTURE
Five areas,
one architecture owner
Models and inference
Task fit, provider policies, cost and latency
Compare the model options against the workflow and documented data requirements.
Applications and workflows
Interfaces, agents, retrieval and approval
Define allowed actions, review points and the interfaces that connect automation to daily work.
Data and content
Sources, versions, permissions and synchronization
Name the sources, permitted uses, access rules and people responsible for keeping information current.
Evaluation and monitoring
Quality, cost, speed and failures
Set a baseline and inspect the effects of model or workflow changes before expanding their use.
Operations
Versions, incidents, recovery and provider changes
Agree on monitoring, support, recovery and the people who decide when to change or expand the system.
Start with one workflow.
Agree on the next step.
