Lifecycle View
Eight stages from inception to retirement — each stage faces a different mix of risks.
Inception
6 risksFraming the problem and assessing feasibility — biased assumptions made here persist for the entire system lifetime.
Representative risks
View all in this stage →Design & Development
35 risksData collection, model design and training — where data-quality and supply-chain risks concentrate.
Representative risks
View all in this stage →Verification & Validation
2 risksValidating performance, bias and security weaknesses — the cost of inadequate testing only surfaces after launch.
Representative risks
View all in this stage →Deployment
31 risksThe turning point where the system goes live; permission, integration and configuration errors cluster here.
Representative risks
View all in this stage →Operation & Monitoring
133 risksReal-world inputs hit the system: abuse, drift, hallucination and security incidents mostly erupt at this stage.
Representative risks
View all in this stage →Continuous Validation
0 risksOngoing measurement of performance and risk indicators after launch — catching drift and degradation early; the newly added eighth-stage safeguard.
Representative risks
Re-evaluation
0 risksPeriodic review against goals and regulations — systems that skip re-evaluation accumulate hidden risk.
Representative risks
Retirement
2 risksDecommissioning and data disposal: forgotten models, data and credentials are the tail risks most often overlooked.
