BROCS organizes the capabilities needed to develop systems, run them reliably, monitor behavior, control change, and manage security.\n\n**BROCS** is a vendor-neutral framework for assessing enterprise AI enablement. It organizes the work under\n\n**Build**,\n\n**Run**,\n\n**Observe**,\n\n**Control**, and\n\n**Secure**. Use it to assess commercial and homegrown platforms before procurement or implementation.\n\n## The five capabilities\n\n## Working assumptions\n\n### Tools will change\n\nKeep identity, data access, runtime, telemetry, policy, and portability independent of any assistant or model provider. Replacing a tool should not require rebuilding the services beneath it.\n\n### Deployment follows data constraints\n\nSupport the locations and legal boundaries that govern the data, including private infrastructure and approved cloud accounts. A separate stack for each location creates uneven controls and duplicate work.\n\n### Sovereignty shapes architecture\n\nSome workloads require local models or endpoints covered by specific contractual terms. Those paths belong in the core design and should receive the same operational support as hosted models.\n\n### Integration cost compounds\n\nA separate integration and control set for each vendor raises cost and fragments evidence. Shared services reduce the work required to add or replace tools.\n\n### Assistants cover part of Build\n\nA coding assistant helps people create software. Enterprise enablement also covers deployment, data connections, runtime operations, monitoring, policy, and incident response.\n\n### The capabilities depend on one another\n\nBuild relies on approved runtime paths. Observe supplies evidence to Control and Secure. Treat the capabilities as one operating model when assigning ownership and evaluating coverage.\n\n## Stay on the list\n\nOccasional email about framework changes and new field notes.
