What is the Audit-Tested MLOps Foundations course about?
Teams invest heavily in model development only to stall when governance teams request audit evidence. Without standardized processes, version control, and compliance-aligned documentation, even high-performing models face deployment delays or rejection. The gap isn't technical ability, it's the absence of audit-ready operational design.
