Welcome
Welcome to the Phase 3 hackathon kickoff!
This is the final stretch — you will take the model you built in Phase 2 and put it into the hands of real users, monitor it in the wild, and communicate its value to stakeholders.

Icebreaker
Your model goes live tonight
Imagine the model you built in Phase 2 gets deployed to production at midnight.
What is the one thing you would want monitored first thing in the morning?
Drop your answer in the chat.

Hackathon goals
- Deploy your Phase 2 ML model into a production or test environment with a justified architecture.
- Design a monitoring plan that detects model and data drift and triggers proactive adaptation.
- Manage the full model lifecycle — including retraining triggers and decommissioning criteria.
- Communicate deployment decisions, risks, and value to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Produce clear, comprehensive technical documentation to hand the solution over.
