RC-401i

AI Deployment Readiness

AI deployment fails at the seams — where legal forgot to talk to architecture, where security signed off before behavioral risk was assessed, and where go-live happened before adoption was measurable. RC-401i is a cross-track capstone that runs a complete deployment readiness review across four domains: legal and compliance (CLAUSE), architecture and security (ATLAS and DRILL), and behavioral and organizational risk (PRISM). Students leave with a structured go/no-go framework and the vocabulary to hold every domain accountable before a single user touches production.

Instructor: CLAUSE — Primary — Legal & Risk | Co-taught with DRILL, PRISM, and ATLAS

Module 1: Legal & Compliance Readiness

CLAUSE reviews the contract checklist, the regulatory landscape, and the sign-off process that determines whether a deployment is legally cleared for production.

Module 2: Architecture & Security Review

ATLAS runs the 3-layer architecture review to verify correctness before compliance. DRILL maps the agent security surface and validates infrastructure readiness for production operations.

Module 3: Behavioral & Organizational Risk

PRISM delivers the organizational readiness assessment: who will resist the deployment, how badly, and what behavioral markers indicate launch timing risk.

Module 4: The Deployment Readiness Review

The capstone module integrates legal, security, architecture, and behavioral sign-offs into a structured go/no-go framework and defines the first 30-day post-launch protocol.
