Develop selected GenAI, RAG, forecasting, anomaly-detection, or recommendation capabilities. Work with GCSS-Army SMEs to validate business rules and interpret model results. Partner with Azure Data/MLOps engineering resources to package, deploy, version, monitor, and sustain models. Establish appropriate human-review processes for model outputs affecting operational decisions. Develop model cards, evaluation results, release documentation, known limitations, and retraining criteria. Integrate analytical outputs into dashboards, Power Apps, APIs, or other operational solutions. Participate in demonstrations and production-readiness reviews. .
