Support for RAPID-built products
What Support receives at handover, and how they operate at weekly-release frequency.
The handover
At the Production Readiness gate, Support accepts:
- Diátaxis-structured generated docs and current runbooks.
- Dashboards and alerts (observability).
- The handover training module (from the umbrella curriculum), timed to go-live.
Operating at RAPID pace
- Triage flow — severity-rated per the rapid-fix SLAs.
- Escalation into squads — you-build-it-you-run-it (staffing model), so fixes go to the team that knows the code.
- The rapid-fix path — support ticket → squad fix → same-day release, through the gates.
- AI-defect awareness — the AI-defect incident runbook for when a bug turns out to be agent-generated (fix the class, not the instance).
Why it's different
Support for a weekly-release product can't rely on quarterly knowledge dumps. Current generated docs, live dashboards, and a short path back into the building squad are what make support sustainable at RAPID cadence. Feeds the KCS loop.
