Model Governance & MLOps Checklist for OT Pilots

{"Title":"Model Governance & MLOps Checklist for OT Pilots","IntroductionHtml":"

This checklist helps run short, shop‑floor focused experiments that prove safe, auditable model lifecycle practices for OT. For each checklist item, mark completion, assign an owner, set a target date (YYYY‑MM‑DD), attach an evidence link or artifact ID, and add concise notes describing acceptance criteria or artifacts. Save responses to create an audit trail for governance and scaling decisions.
