📞 Decision Escalation Path

Question: Is system ready to deploy?
├─ NO: Security audit failing?
│   → Fix issues per DEPLOYMENT.md section 8
│   → Re-run npm run security-audit
│
├─ NO: Load test failing?
│   → Fix performance issues per DEPLOYMENT.md section 7
│   → Re-run npm run load-test
│
├─ NO: Demo tests failing?
│   → Debug via brics/demo/corrupt-heal.test.ts
│   → Run npm run test:demo again
│
├─ YES: Security audit + load test + demo all passing?
│   → Proceed with QUICK_START.md Day 1
│   → DevOps lead execution
│
└─ YES: Full infrastructure deployed + validated?
    → Proceed with LAUNCH_CHECKLIST.md
    → Launch director + ops team execution
