Final Closeout Enterprise And SaaS Handoff

Final Closeout Enterprise And SaaS Handoff

This handoff plan explains how a successful final closeout trial should move into private Enterprise implementation or SaaS onboarding without exposing private source code in the public Community repository.

Deployment Path Decision

Self-hosted Enterprise	Customer needs private network deployment, local control, or air-gapped operation.
SaaS Control Plane	Customer wants hosted dashboards, tenant management, managed policy registry, and centralized audit history.
Hybrid	Customer needs local enforcement with hosted reporting, licensing, or policy distribution.
