P8 is the lifecycle layer. AI is not a project; it is a continuously operated system. P8 codifies the AI Lifecycle (Concept → Build → Deploy → Operate → Sunset), the Annual Defensibility Audit, the continuous improvement programme, and the decommissioning protocols.
Operating outputs: the AI Lifecycle Standard, the Annual Defensibility Audit programme, the Continuous Improvement Charter, and the Decommissioning Playbook.
