Relationships

Full-lifecycle relationship management from lead generation through QBR delivery

Relationships (formerly Business Development) manages the entire client relationship lifecycle — from first-touch lead generation through ongoing account management and quarterly business reviews. DevOps AI automates pipeline management, enriches prospect data with AI, and ensures every client touchpoint is coordinated and intentional.

Understanding HITL Gate Levels

Every process area in DevOps AI is classified by its Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) gate level — defining when AI acts autonomously and when human approval is required.

Human-in-the-Loop approval gate — AI proposes action, human reviews and approves before execution
Human-in-the-Loop approval gate — AI proposes action, human reviews and approves before execution
L0 — Fully Automated

AI executes autonomously with full logging. No human approval needed. Examples: ticket classification, monitoring alerts, report generation.

L1 — Notify

AI executes and notifies the assigned human. Human can review, override, or escalate after the fact. Examples: SLA predictions, patch scheduling.

L2 — Approve to Proceed

AI prepares and recommends, but a human must explicitly approve before execution. Examples: change requests, contract modifications, campaign launches.

L3 — Human Only

Humans perform the action with AI providing decision support only. Examples: legal review, privileged access approval, incident legal response.
