TL;DR
A demonstration proves possibility; production requires operating evidence, ownership, and recovery.
What the paper develops
A demonstration answers whether something can work under selected conditions. Production asks whether the organization can rely on it in ordinary work, under change, and when something goes wrong. This paper defines the missing operating evidence between those two states and gives leaders a readiness frame for ownership, monitoring, recovery, capacity, and stop authority.
The operating move
Require operating ownership, real-workflow evidence, monitoring, recovery, and a stop mechanism before moving from a successful demonstration to production reliance.
