- Backup and restore logs show job status; row counts and replica convergence help assess the data itself. Cross-region recovery also requires a decision about where records may reside.8:29 ↗
- A judge’s reasoning can expose sensitive data even when the UI is redacted. Separating scores from explanations and using a second judge on redacted input adds protection at the cost of another model call.10:37 ↗
- Deployment speed depends on the bank’s readiness for image approvals, GPUs, security review and access configuration as well as the vendor’s engineering.13:06 ↗
