Use This When

• A service, feature, integration, or operational workflow has been deployed.
• An incident revealed missing logs, metrics, alerts, or runbook detail.
• You need evidence that production is healthy after change.

Skip When

• The change cannot affect runtime behavior.
• Existing monitoring already covers the new behavior and this has been verified.

Output

• Health checks or readiness checks to add or verify.
• Logging, metrics, and tracing gaps.
• Alerting thresholds or ownership notes.
• Dashboard and runbook updates.
• Follow-up items for the next planning cycle.

Handoff

The next /research or /requirements cycle should receive real production feedback rather than assumptions.
