• Own runtime services supporting routing, access controls, policy enforcement, rate limiting, tenant and entitlement boundaries, PII handling, and AI firewall integration.

• Establish shared approaches for knowledge access, data permissions, memory management, expiration, and deletion.

• Provide output evaluation, production monitoring, drift detection, adversarial testing, and observability across models, tools, data, latency, failures, and workflow outcomes.

• Partner with engineering teams on provider outages, incidents, kill switches, quarantine procedures, fallback behavior, and recovery testing.

• Connect audit records, supervisory data, certification evidence, exceptions, and retention requirements to the responsible review teams.

• Collect usage and cost data, apply rate limits, and provide FinOps with information supporting showback, chargeback, forecasting, and optimization.

• Track adoption, onboarding time, availability, latency, failures, control coverage, exceptions, and cost, and use those measures to prioritize platform improvements.
