Applications & Deployment

How organisations actually put this into production. In scope: deployment patterns, adoption and abandonment, function-level rollouts with measured outcomes. NOTE: this rung is structurally weak as RESEARCH — its sources are overwhelmingly vendor case studies, and Connor's seat here is `adjacent`, not `ran it`. Per the teaching doctrine that caps most of it at L2 coverage. Added on Connor's direction; gate 3 is currently unmet.
