The gate-layer coordinate for controlled AI deployment.
A precise position for infrastructure that enforces pass/fail criteria before an AI model or agent reaches production — the checkpoint between development and live deployment.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.
Architectural context
Deployment · Cross-Vertical · 2 compound moats. Architectural surface: Gate. Cross-cutting: Deployment.

Why this is canonical
'Deployment' names the transition moment from development to live operation; 'gate' names the structural control point that enforces criteria before that transition occurs. The compound is the direct conceptual description of deployment gating — a pattern now standard in regulated and enterprise AI rollout.
