Service scope
- Service constraints
-
Technical & Operational: Service is optimised for well-defined tasks; novel scenarios require human judgment. Agents depend on third-party LLM APIs (e.g., Vertex AI, Claude, OpenAI), subject to provider availability and rate limits. Multi-step workflows may introduce latency. Buyers must provide necessary system/API permissions.
Governance & Security: Deployments require strict security controls and least-privilege principles. Decisions impacting citizens may necessitate DPIAs or ethical reviews. Staff training and process redesign are required for successful adoption.
Scope: Focuses on agent design and implementation. Underlying infrastructure and business process redesign are excluded. Ongoing monitoring and periodic revalidation are mandatory for safe operation.
