Step 6: Sustainability and Closure
*This Framework does not provide an exhaustive list of all decision points that are to be addressed in the process of an AI/ML project. Rather, it focuses on providing tools and guidance around the decision points which provide particularly strong opportunities for processes of co-creation. Below is a list of additional questions relevant to “Sustainability and closure” for consideration:
Is the innovation worth sustaining over time?
How will the product be sustained and scaled up (ongoing costs and maintenance etc)?
Can the data be shared as a public good?
On what terms would the model be made available to others? Open source / commercialisation / etc?
How might the project inform the broader landscape including legislation, policy guidance, etc.?
Who owns the IP?
