A mosquito-control bureau is told a vendor can install the trap-count model in one week and then leave. Staff ask whether that one-week setup is the whole lifecycle. What should the leader explain?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A one-week trap-count install is a setup step, not the lifecycle. Budget data, train and validate, deploy, and monitor. Walking away after install leaves drift with no owner.
Full Explanation
A model lifecycle is a sequence: gather representative data, train and validate, deploy, and then monitor. A one-week install is only a setup step, not that sequence. Walking away after install leaves drift and errors with no owner. Leaders should budget the later stages before they buy the install.
