pre-flight-readiness

Pre-flight risk assessment for multi-system deployments requires a mandatory 5-phase What-If analysis. This process identifies failure modes and establishes mitigations, health checks, rollback plans, and wait-for-readiness timeouts before execution.

Pre-flight checks are mandatory for any integration test, E2E test, or deployment involving more than one component. Executing these operations without a prior risk assessment is forbidden to prevent multi-system failures.

The 5-phase What-If analysis includes a mitigation matrix for failure modes, health checks for participating systems, rollback and cleanup plans, and a wait-for-readiness strategy with defined timeouts.

Readiness and rollback validation across services requires executing a pre-flight assessment that checks system health and defines cleanup plans. This ensures all participating environments are ready and have fallback strategies before operation execution.

Executing multi-component operations without a risk assessment and mitigation matrix is forbidden. You must complete health checks for all participating systems and establish a rollback plan before initiating any operation.

Multi-system deployments fail without wait-for-readiness timeouts because participating components may not be prepared. A pre-flight assessment establishes these timeouts alongside health checks to ensure all systems are ready before execution.
