Keep dependencies boring and well‑documented. Small anecdote that might help. We cut manual review time by ~30% just by clarifying thresholds.

Track approval rate, chargebacks, and complaints weekly. Automate sticky edge cases to save analyst time. Process tip that prevented a week of rework.

Ensure sandbox parity to avoid release‑day surprises. Keep the system operable by the smallest competent team. Biggest risk is invisible complexity creeping in.

Process tip that prevented a week of rework. Document assumptions so new teammates move faster. Schedule a retro after the first month.

Counterpoint based on what stuck in reality. Watch hidden dependencies that slow audits. Ignore shiny features until you validate ROI.

Decide this with numbers, not vibes. The real cost driver was reprocessing, not inference. If the key metric doesn’t move in 14 days, revert.

Write copy‑paste runbooks for common procedures. Log sample payloads (PII redacted) to speed debugging. Quick checklist that saved us time.

I’d approach this a bit differently than most tutorials suggest. Automate sticky edge cases to save analyst time. We phased traffic: 5% → 25% → 60% → 100% to de-risk.

Ignore shiny features until you validate ROI. Counterpoint based on what stuck in reality. Bias toward tools the team can actually operate.

Small anecdote that might help. We cut manual review time by ~30% just by clarifying thresholds. If volume is spiky, budget for burst capacity explicitly.

Biggest risk is invisible complexity creeping in. Rotate credentials on a calendar, not only after incidents. Keep the system operable by the smallest competent team.

Counterpoint based on what stuck in reality. Design the rollout so rollback takes minutes, not hours. Ignore shiny features until you validate ROI.

Quick checklist that saved us time. Rotate credentials on a calendar, not only after incidents. Use feature flags generously for safe tests.

Counterpoint based on what stuck in reality. Watch hidden dependencies that slow audits. Ignore shiny features until you validate ROI.

Ship small and often to limit blast radius. Keep the system operable by the smallest competent team. Biggest risk is invisible complexity creeping in.
