Architecture case-study blueprint: no deployment results, customer endorsement, or measured improvements are claimed.

Data and operating scope

Agree asset identity, units, calibration versions, sampling behavior, and connectivity constraints.

Deterministic solution

Enforce timestamp and schema rules, buffer within approved limits, and route malformed events.

Agentic solution

Analyze drift patterns and propose contract updates or investigation tasks.

Acceptance evidence

Asset-linkage checks, unit validation, controlled backfill tests, and operations-approved recovery behavior.

Decision boundary

Configuration proposals do not authorize source access. Approved credentials, connector support, execution limits, and replay permissions must be established before pipelines run.
