Stable section ID: S05-CON-016-SECTION-81 · 21 content blocks
Every adoption program shall maintain a structured process for identifying, evaluating, controlling, and communicating technical and institutional risks.
Adoption risks may include:
immature Product design;
insufficient Evidence;
manufacturing variability;
Supplier dependence;
regulatory uncertainty;
workforce resistance or shortage;
inadequate inspection capacity;
software or Registry failure;
cybersecurity threats;
cost escalation;
unclear liability;
public misunderstanding;
premature scaling;
proprietary lock-in.
A change-management plan shall identify affected stakeholders, required training, transition periods, legacy support, communication methods, and feedback channels.
Risk controls shall include pilot boundaries, phased release, monitoring, independent review, configuration control, contingency supply, manual fallback, and withdrawal criteria.
Adoption metrics shall not reward deployment volume while ignoring defects, maintenance burden, unresolved alerts, or user harm.
Material changes in Product design, governance, ownership, software infrastructure, certification status, or market conditions shall trigger reassessment.
System05 shall preserve the ability to slow, restrict, suspend, or reverse adoption where Evidence no longer supports continued deployment.
