Model Launch Support

Model launch support is the concentrated behavioral preparation that happens before a model goes live. This typically includes a final behavioral audit against the specification, a red-teaming push to find last-minute vulnerabilities, review of content and usage policies for the new model’s capabilities, and preparation of model card documentation. Launch support often involves coordination across safety, legal, policy, communications, and engineering teams — each of whom has a stake in whether the model launches responsibly. For behavior architects, launch support is high-stakes, time-compressed work: the evaluations and policies that weren’t completed before launch become the public’s problem after it, so the quality of this phase directly affects both user safety and organizational reputation.
