A practical guide to building reliable AI systems
Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday business operations, influencing analysis, reporting, and decision-making across organisations. As adoption increases, so does the need for confidence in how these systems are designed, deployed, and maintained.
This checklist has been created to help teams assess whether the foundations supporting their AI and data initiatives are ready for production use. It focuses on the practical areas that most directly influence reliability, trust, and long-term performance.
Rather than concentrating on models alone, this guide looks at the broader environment around AI, including data quality, system stability, governance, and operational readiness. These elements play a significant role in determining whether AI performs consistently once it moves beyond experimentation and into real-world use
The checklist is designed to be:
- Clear and practical
- Relevant to both technical and business stakeholders
- Applicable across different industries and use cases
- Focused on outcomes, not theory
It can be used as a self-assessment tool, a discussion framework, or a starting point for improving existing processes. Not every organisation will be at the same stage, and not every section will apply equally. The value comes from gaining visibility into strengths, gaps, and areas for improvement.
Reliable AI is not the result of a single decision. It is built over time, through structure, clarity, and good operational practice.
This checklist is intended to support that journey.
