Four worked buying briefs
These are hypothetical scenarios with explicit assumptions. They do not establish equal capabilities, measured usability or a negotiated price.
| Requirement | Proposed exercise | Accept when |
|---|---|---|
| Representative task | Run a small authorised model workflow with saved data and evaluation criteria. | The model and environment can be reproduced and the required outputs can be evaluated. |
| Access scope | Run the authorised test with distinct permitted and restricted identities. | Only intended identities can access the configured resources. |
| Failure handling | Exercise a safe failed request and document retry or recovery. | The application can explain and handle the failure without unintended side effects. |
| Complete estimate | Document the selected configuration, expected usage and connected resources. | The estimate includes the actual billed units and required supporting services. |

Scope and architecture
OCI Data Science fits model development around OCI data and infrastructure. SageMaker AI provides AWS machine learning workflows. Compare the actual notebook, training and deployment path, including environment reproducibility and model endpoint operations.
A managed model platform does not establish model quality, data rights or suitability for a production decision. Verify the actual model, framework, evaluation method and deployment configuration.
