The useful answer

Understand what must happen between choosing a customer system and trusting it with real customers.

It includes mapping the current process, defining approved decisions, preparing source information, configuring handoffs, testing normal and exceptional cases, training responsible people, launching deliberately, and reviewing evidence after real use.
