A team is preparing a production rollout and needs to avoid a design mistake. The team is focused on use case intake. Which recommendation is most appropriate?

The correct answer is A. Comprehensive intake that captures purpose, owner, business context, data lineage, model type, risk classification, and intended users ensures the governance framework is built on a solid foundation. Option B is incomplete; registering only the model file name provides zero context for risk assessment or approvals. Option C is dangerous; waiting until launch to establish ownership means governance is retroactive and reactive. Option D misses the point; even reusable models must be evaluated for each use case because context and intended users change the risk profile. IBM watsonx.governance requires rich intake data so governance decisions are informed and controls are targeted appropriately to actual use case risk.
