Supply chain principles
Understand dependencies
Identify the models, data, software, infrastructure, and organizations a deployment depends on. Track who controls each component and what happens when it changes.
Review permitted use
Assess license terms, source permissions, data handling, and vendor constraints for the actual workflow. An available component may not be suitable for every deployment.
Preserve accountability
Give dependency review an owner and a recurring trigger. This page describes an approach to technology assessment; contractual supplier requirements are established separately.
