Daily Framework for 2026-03-21

How I read this page: - [REL] Reliability & Evaluation — What fails in prod? How do we test + observe it? - [AGENT] Agents & Orchestration — What runs the loop? What actions can it take? - [DATA] Data, RAG & Knowledge — Where does context come from? How is it retrieved? - [GOV] Security, Privacy & Governance — What needs policy, permissions, and audit? - [COST] Infra, Hardware & Cost — What gets expensive (latency/tokens/GPU/ops)? How do we cap it? - [OPS] Product & Operating Model — Who owns this weekly? How do we roll it out safely?

Quick system map (to place each item): Model → Context (RAG/memory) → Orchestrator → Tools → Evals/Tracing → Governance.
