When AI Fails in Production: An Incident Response Playbook

AI failures are silent, plausible, and propagate through automated downstream actions. This is the operational sequence for the first hour, the rollback, the postmortem, and the readiness you build before the first incident.

The True Cost of AI in Production: A TCO Framework
