Validate readiness.

 Controlled pre-production validation environment.

• Derived directly from the demo reference architecture
   
• Identical configuration baseline to production
   
• No experimental or unstable components 

 No architectural drift between environments.

• Same platform, same services, same integrations
   
• Same security, identity, and access control model
   
• Same data models, workflows, and governance rules

 All changes are controlled, traceable, and reversible.

• Regulated change management
   
• Approval-based configuration updates
   
• Full traceability for audits and compliance reviews

 Staging is where security is proven, not assumed.

• Security policy validation
   
• Identity, access, and role enforcement testing
   
• Logging, monitoring, and audit trail verification

Real integration under controlled conditions.

• Validation of Open API integrations
   
• Legacy system and data migration testing
   
• External services and enterprise system interoperability

 Operational behaviour is validated before go-live.

• Load and performance testing
   
• Workflow execution consistency
   
• Operational monitoring and alerting validation
