Agents used by the delivery team need a different governance model from AI models embedded in the product. Delivery agents may not be part of the customer-facing service, but they can still create risk because they may read code, write code, inspect logs, summarise documents, generate infrastructure changes or draft customer-facing material.
AI models used by the product need their own governance model. They are different from agents used by the delivery team because they sit closer to customer workflows, user data, automatic processing and contractual promises.
POC, Pilot and Production are partly cost-control stages. Each step accepts more cost only when the risk, customer expectation or operational promise justifies it.
