Production-Ready: A 10‑Minute Acceptance Criteria for Agentic Features

Core insight: production-readiness for agentic features is not a binary gut call — it’s a short, measurable acceptance criteria set that protects leverage while accelerating value. This episode gives one core insight, three supporting points, and a single 3-step action you can complete in ten minutes. You’ll get a tight checklist covering success metrics, revert and containment conditions, observability minimums, and human escalation rules. Supporting points show how to make criteria decision-grade (quantified thresholds), reversible (fast rollback and scoped authority), and monitorable (minimal telemetry that answers ‘did it do the thing we expected?’). Finish with a single, executable action: write an acceptance statement for one agent you’re considering deploying. The goal: move from guesswork to disciplined deployments that scale without surprise. Practical, operational, and usable in the next ten minutes.
