AI Vendor Handoff Framework for Procurement and AI Ops

Most onboarding delays happen during handoff between deal teams and delivery teams. This framework standardizes ownership transfer, milestone governance, and launch readiness tracking.

Implementation Steps

  1. Start handoff with one source of truth for contract terms, scope, and critical assumptions.
  2. Map security and operations dependencies with named owners and escalation contacts.
  3. Track readiness in fixed cadence reviews with explicit go/hold criteria.
  4. Archive launch evidence and unresolved risk actions for post-launch governance.
