• Ensure all outputs use open, standard, non-proprietary data formats and APIs (JSON/XML) supporting client data export and interoperability requirements
• Apply Section 508/WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards to all developed tools
• Document software code, features, and user/training guides
• Operate within the program's AI use policy — never processing sensitive, proprietary, PII, PHI, or CUI through AI-enabled tooling without explicit client authorization
