What is the COBIT for ML Engineers in High-Visibility course about?

ML engineers in high-compliance environments often face sudden requests for system documentation during M&A due diligence or regulator inquiries. Without a structured approach, assembling control evidence becomes a high-pressure, last-minute effort that pulls focus from core development. The pain isn't lack of knowledge, it's lack of a repeatable, standards-aligned framework to produce auditor-ready outputs on demand.
