question: What happens after launch?
answer: "After launch you get a hand-off with docs and runbooks, and then the option of a retainer. The hand-off puts the code in your GitHub organization with the documentation to run it, so you are never locked in. The optional retainer covers monitoring, updates, VA operations and AI operations, so the system keeps running while you focus on the business. AI on retainer runs under the same gate as AI in the build: human QA on everything, screenshots and tests at every step, and nothing goes live without your sign-off."

After launch you get a hand-off with docs and runbooks, and then the option of a retainer. The hand-off puts the code in your GitHub organization with the documentation to run it, so you are never locked in. The optional retainer covers monitoring, updates, [VA operations](../services/operations.md) and [AI operations](../services/ai-operations.md), so the system keeps running while you focus on the business. AI on retainer runs under the same gate as AI in the build: human QA on everything, screenshots and tests at every step, and nothing goes live without your sign-off.
