Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Use for controlled integration pilots with explicit interface testing.

Why
Released AI/ML interfaces and limited R1 implementation results support pilots; combined current-version R1/A1 operation remains incompletely validated.
Next
Test selected suppliers against pinned versions, including model lifecycle operations, A1 enforcement, policy conflicts, rollback, portability and runtime integrity.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Current-version combined R1/A1 AI/ML interoperability needs implementation-specific proof.
  • Conflict detection and enforcement require operational qualification.
  • Cross-platform rApp portability remains supplier dependent.
  • Emulated results do not establish production network benefits.
  • Model lifecycle rollback and runtime integrity require explicit testing.
