Ask what authority is being granted
Frame the launch around effects: money, records, identity, private data, external representation, or physical operations.
Review the minimum proof
Confirm the required scenarios, seed count, control coverage, approval roles, and evidence retention for the profile.
Choose a bounded posture
Ship only within the tested envelope. Conditional means conditions are enforceable and observable, not merely written in a ticket.
Keep the stop path live
Agree on kill-switch ownership, rollback, incident response, expiry, and the exact changes that force re-evaluation.
The tested candidate matches the release candidate
Conditions are enforceable at runtime
A rollback and emergency stop owner is on-call
The next material change already has a re-test path
