Description
Most LLM deployments skip the parts that actually matter. Not the model selection — that part everyone obsesses over. The security posture. The cost model. The observability stack. The compliance gates. The RAG pipeline validation. The 21 domains that have to be solid before you put this in front of real users.
This checklist covers all of it. 434 checkboxes across 21 domains — POC validation, cost modelling, infrastructure, security, compliance, hallucination management, MLOps, prompt engineering, production RAG, and more. Built from OWASP LLM Top 10 (2025), OWASP Agentic Top 10 (2026), NIST AI RMF, MITRE ATLAS, EU AI Act, HIPAA, SOC 2, and 20+ additional sources verified through April 2026.
