Before continuous optimization
Teams often add optimization loops before governance loops are mature. That order creates fragile autonomy and difficult incident response.
A better path is to lock down observability and intervention controls first, then increase loop frequency.
Practical readiness checks
Track false-positive interventions, detection lag, and rollback success rate. These indicators expose whether the system can tolerate more autonomy.
If rollback outcomes are inconsistent, pause optimization expansion and harden controls before proceeding.
