    Question: Describe your model evaluation practice for AI-enabled features.

    Every AI-enabled feature in the platform is governed by our Model & Agent Evaluation Standard [attached: MAES-v2.3]. Prior to production release, each feature must pass an evaluation suite that includes functional success cases, adversarial cases, and safety cases with documented ground truth. Evaluation coverage reports are produced on every model, prompt, or context change and are retained for a minimum of 24 months. A named product manager owns evaluation regression for each feature. Rollback authority is documented in the corresponding runbook [available on request under NDA].

    Question: How do you communicate service disruptions to enterprise customers?

    Incidents are classified on a four-tier severity scale [attached: ICP-v1.7]. Initial acknowledgment for Sev-1 and Sev-2 incidents is issued within 15 minutes of detection through the customer status page, direct email to designated technical contacts, and, for Sev-1, direct outreach from the Customer Success executive on call. Status updates follow a defined cadence — every 30 minutes for Sev-1, every 60 minutes for Sev-2. Post-incident reviews are published within five business days and are available to affected customers.

    Question: What is your data residency and processing posture?

    The platform supports customer election of US, EU, or APAC data residency at the workspace level. Customer data does not cross residency boundaries in the ordinary course of operations. Model inference for AI-enabled features is performed within the elected residency; where a provider dependency requires cross-boundary processing, this is disclosed in the corresponding data flow diagram [attached: DFD-AI-v1.4] and is subject to explicit customer opt-in.

    Question: Describe your product governance for changes affecting customer-visible behavior.

    Material changes to customer-visible behavior are governed by our Product Decision Record standard [attached: ADR-v1.2]. Each decision is timestamped, sponsored by a named decision-maker, and documents the alternatives considered. Changes affecting AI-enabled behavior additionally require re-evaluation against the corresponding evaluation suite and, for Tier 3 or Tier 4 agent capabilities, executive sign-off before deployment.
