How does Alma roll out AI features safely?

Question. How does Alma roll out AI features safely? Short answer. 10% → 25% → 50% → 75% → 100% with feature flags, automated auditors, and kill switches at every step. Alma rolled out its rebuilt food-logging system (Track 2) to 100% of users in two months. The pattern: a 'Test Kitchen' internal feature flag bucket, then a gradual ramp through 10/25/50/75/100% with automated audits via Claude Opus every three hours, confidence thresholds for auto-fix, kill switches at every level, and correction-free logs as the north-star quality metric.

If a SaaS subscription costs more than building the tool yourself, build the tool.
