2) Ownership map
Assign planning, production, QA, and measurement owners. Publish the map where the team already works.
3) Control stack
hallucination / factuality checks(entry gate)source citation requirements(delivery gate)fallback to human escalation(review gate)
4) Delivery rhythm
Ship in small increments. After each release, add links to the Artificial Intelligence hub and sibling cluster pages.
5) Learning loop
Compare planned vs actual every week. Keep, fix, or stop. Do not expand while hallucination / factuality checks is failing.
