ES-113 Stage Manifest¶
Manifest purpose¶
This manifest is the structured contract for ES-113.
Stage identity¶
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Stage ID | ES-113 |
| Stage Name | Operations and Monitoring |
| Stage Family | Deployment and Operations |
| Stage Type | Operations, monitoring, and evidence production |
| Estimated Effort | Continuous during approved operation or review window |
| Prerequisites | ES-112 — Deployment and Transition |
| Previous Stage | ES-112 — Deployment and Transition |
| Next Stage | ES-114 — Post-Release Learning and Stewardship |
| Primary Output | Operations and monitoring evidence package |
| Publication Status | Production-ready |
Stage mission¶
Operate the deployed scope while monitoring behavior, preserving operational evidence, managing incidents, tracking risks, and enforcing release and operational limits.
Primary engineering question¶
Is the deployed system operating within approved limits, and what evidence shows whether it should continue, pause, stop, or change?
Inputs¶
| Input | Required | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment readiness summary | Yes | docs/deployment/deployment_readiness_summary.md |
| Deployment scope | Yes | docs/deployment/deployment_scope.md |

Required evidence¶
- deployment-to-monitoring evidence;
- monitoring log evidence;
- operational event evidence;
- incident evidence;
- access and data monitoring evidence;
- guardrail monitoring evidence;
- AI monitoring evidence;
- feedback evidence;
- risk and issue update evidence;
- transition evidence.
Completion criteria¶
ES-113 is complete when monitoring scope is defined, monitoring checks are recorded, operational events are recorded, incidents are recorded or explicitly absent, access and data limits are reviewed, guardrails are monitored, AI status is monitored, feedback is captured, risks and issues are updated, and ES-114 readiness is documented.
Success criteria¶
ES-113 succeeds when ES-114 can begin post-release learning and stewardship with enough operational evidence to identify lessons, improvements, unresolved risks, governance concerns, and next actions.
Risks if skipped¶
Skipping ES-113 may result in unobserved operational failure, lost feedback, hidden scope expansion, unrecorded incidents, weak stewardship, and missed improvement opportunities.
Maintenance notes¶
Operations and monitoring evidence should be updated continuously during the approved operation or review window. Monitoring should also be updated after material scope, access, data, AI status, support, incident, or risk changes.
