## Guides
- [AI Systems Are Software Systems](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/ai-systems-are-software-systems/): Why production AI requires the same engineering discipline as any distributed system, and how this wiki covers the full stack of AI delivery.
- [Benchmarking a Fine-Tuned Model Against Its Lineage](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/benchmarking-a-finetuned-model-against-its-lineage/): A methodology for testing every model in a fine-tuning or distillation lineage — base, teacher, and final — against one fixed test set, so gains, regressions, and unchanged behavior are all visible instead of assumed.
- [Carving a Staging Environment Out of a Live Production System](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/introducing-environments-to-a-single-environment-system/): The practical order of operations for adding a second environment to a system where production has always been the only one: feature flags first, then read-only shadow traffic, then a sanitized staging environment, then a change-gate cutover.
- [Constraint-Driven Comparisons: Why 'Better' Is the Wrong Question](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/constraint-driven-comparisons/): Most technology comparisons rank features and declare a winner. The comparisons on this wiki are built around a different question: what constraint does your organization actually have, and which option does that constraint rule out — independent of which one scores higher on a spec sheet.
- [Durable Execution for Agent Workflows](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/durable-execution-for-agent-workflows/): An AI agent's own process is not durable storage: a crash, an OOM kill, or a context-window limit loses everything mid-task. Durable execution platforms like Temporal fix this by persisting every step outside the agent's process, and now integrate directly with the OpenAI Agents SDK.
- [Golden Paths as Agent Contracts](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/golden-paths-as-agent-contracts/): Golden paths were written as documentation for humans to follow. In 2026, platform teams are rewriting the same paved paths as machine-consumable contracts an agent can dispatch against, with the approval gate moved from the doc to the pull request.
- [Governance Thresholds as You Scale](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/governance-thresholds-as-you-scale/): Which of this wiki's governance and compliance guides actually apply to a small AI system that has outgrown its original scope, and the specific regulatory, contractual, or operational condition that triggers each one.
- [LoRA, InstructLab, and Measuring What Actually Changed](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/lora-instructlab-and-measuring-what-changed/): How to determine, from two files, exactly which weight matrices a LoRA fine-tune touched and how many parameters that is — plus where InstructLab's LAB method fits on the full-fine-tuning-to-LoRA spectrum.
- [Running Distilled Models](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/running-distilled-models/): What actually changes when you serve a distilled model instead of its teacher: the footprint, the reasoning-token plumbing, the capability gaps you have to test for, and the licensing you can't assume inherits cleanly.
- [Scaling From a Long-Running Simple Solution](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/scaling-from-a-long-running-simple-solution/): When growth forces a system that has quietly worked for years to change, the safe order is observability first, a second environment second, testing third, and formal governance last — because each stage is what makes the next one possible without a risky rewrite.
- [Self-Hosting LLMs: Hardware and Economics](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/self-hosting-llms-hardware-and-economics/): The full hardware ladder for running your own models, worked VRAM and KV-cache sizing math at multiple precisions, and a transparent cost comparison against consumer AI subscriptions at different utilization levels.
- [Testing Strategy by Maturity Stage: What to Add, in What Order](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/testing-strategy-by-maturity-stage/): A sequencing guide for adding tests to an AI system that already works and already has real users, built around limited engineering time and real operational risk rather than textbook completeness.
- [The Catalog as Agent Context](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/catalog-as-agent-context/): A developer portal can answer an agent's questions, not just execute its commands — but retrieval-augmented generation over a software catalog raises an access-control question that scoped action tokens don't, and it is largely unsolved.
- [Agent Identity and Authorization: Who Is the Agent Acting As?](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/agent-identity-and-authorization/): Why a shared service account destroys attribution the moment agents act autonomously, how MCP's OAuth 2.1 model binds tokens to a single resource, and the delegation, scope, and revocation questions to answer before agents reach production.
- [Architecture Diagrams That Communicate: Notation, Tools, and Hybrid Cloud](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/architecture-diagrams-that-communicate/): Which notation to use, which tool to draw it in, and how to show a hybrid architecture where some data stays on-premises. Covers the C4 model, vendor icon sets, diagrams-as-code, and the boundaries a hybrid diagram must make explicit.
- [Audit, Rebuild, Recover: Repo Hygiene When AI Agents Touch Your Code](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/repo-hygiene-with-ai-agents/): How to audit a codebase on a schedule, rebuild your whole toolchain on a new machine from one command, and understand which things a fresh git clone can never give you back — Terraform state and your .env among them.
- [Backstage as an Agent Interface](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/backstage-as-an-agent-interface/): How to let a coding agent create real infrastructure through a Backstage scaffolder template: a scoped REST token, the official MCP Actions server as an alternative transport, and where each one's sharp edges are.
- [Cloud Exit Costs and Data Gravity: What It Takes to Leave](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/cloud-exit-costs-and-data-gravity/): Egress pricing, the EU Data Act's phase-out of switching charges by 12 January 2027, migration-time arithmetic, and why large datasets become architecturally immovable.

- [The Cost of Not Updating Your Platform](https://ai-solutions.wiki/guides/the-cost-of-not-updating-your-platform/): A developer portal went two years without an update and stopped being able to build at all, silently. What decays while nothing changes, and why the pipeline never reported it.
