Notebook-to-Production
Notebook-to-production is the gap between a working prototype and a system that runs reliably.
That gap includes error handling, retries, monitoring, cost controls, and deployment infrastructure a notebook skips.
It is usually a bigger lift than the original prototype, which is why timelines underestimate it.
Treating it as its own phase, with its own scope and budget, separates a demo that ships from one that stalls.
