|---|---|---|
| HAIL Deployment | Platform deployed, GREP-ExP migrated, key bugs resolved | Active |
| HAIL Production Move | No ATO conversation initiated with CIO | Blocked |
| HC-PATH | Pre-prototype, not viable as alternate landing zone | Emerging |
| FY26-27 Resourcing | 230 MS hours, cloud credits, governance flagged | Conditional |
| DTB WFA Impact | Governance documentation and cloud support partially on hold | Conditional |
Key Insights
Governance Challenge
HAIL is ready for production but requires ATO approval before FY26-27 can proceed.
- ATO gap blocks production path
- Governance escalation required
- May-June 2026 decision window
Agentic AI Reference
GREP-ExP demonstrates multi-agent screening with human-in-the-loop governance patterns.
- L3/L4 operational capability example
- Published research (Cochrane 2025)
- Governs disagreement-based escalation
Operational Reality
HAIL is operational now, but production readiness still depends on governance action rather than delivery effort alone.
- Deployment complete does not equal production approval
- Governance path is the gating factor
- Boundary with PATH still unresolved
Architecture Signal
PATH remains directional and should not be presented as a current alternate landing zone for HAIL.
- Pre-prototype control-plane concept
- Useful for target-state framing
- Not yet operational substitute capability
