Sourced artificial intelligence and software context
Models, products, and production services: Oracle Fusion Technical
The City of San Jose identifies artificial intelligence as a priority growth sector and includes AI training and job-matching programs in its fiscal year 2025 to 2026 economic plan. Map the operating setting to the correct report, load, interface, or extension pattern. Ask the consultant to explain source ownership, transformations, access, volume, timing, and the user who accepts the result. AI product work can join source data, models, application code, evaluation, user feedback, cost controls, access rules, and production support under separate owners.
Evidence to request: Use a technical-design case and require tool selection, data contract, security, scheduling, error handling, and acceptance decisions. Define the user decision, model boundary, source data, evaluation set, deployment path, access control, cost target, failure response, and approving product owner.
Sourced semiconductors and advanced manufacturing context
Engineering, fabrication, and supply controls: Oracle Fusion Technical
A July 2025 City of San Jose economic-development release names advanced manufacturing and semiconductors among the industries the city plans to attract, retain, and grow. Set integration and extension standards. Candidates should cover authentication, certificates, connections, orchestration, idempotency, retries, observability, version control, and deployment across environments. Semiconductor and manufacturing programs may connect product definitions, equipment, process recipes, production schedules, quality results, suppliers, inventory, maintenance, and cost records.
Evidence to request: Review an Oracle Integration or data-load failure with logs, payloads, diagnosis, correction, replay, and reconciliation. Set the design or plant boundary, product revision, process control, equipment interface, traceability unit, quality release, supplier handoff, change window, and support owner.
Sourced data centers and energy infrastructure context
Capacity, continuity, and facility operations: Oracle Fusion Technical
San Jose's July 2026 large energy-use project page distinguishes data centers from research laboratories, advanced manufacturing sites, electric-vehicle charging hubs, and other power-intensive facilities. Define migration, testing, release, and support ownership. Require evidence for control totals, rejected records, regression checks, scheduled jobs, defect triage, rollback, and handoff. These facilities can combine power, cooling, networks, physical security, capacity, asset maintenance, environmental controls, backup systems, and tenant or workload commitments.
Evidence to request: Ask for a quarterly release or conversion the consultant supported, including dependency review, testing, deployment, exceptions, and post-release checks. Name the facility and workload boundary, capacity unit, power and cooling dependencies, availability target, access model, maintenance path, recovery test, and change authority.
