APR has implemented a comprehensive governance structure and 46 AI management documents spanning seven stages, covering the entire lifecycle of its AI systems, from planning to disposal.

  • Traces represent a single request's journey through the system, identified by a traceid.
  • Foundry exports traces to Azure Monitor Application Insights for unified observability.
