In cybersecurity (and most ML applications), 90% of models never reach production due to poor documentation and reproducibility. This guide walks through:
Architecting a maintainable Python pipeline (OOP approach)
Writing ISO-standard documentation for teams
Deploying with monitoring/versioning (MLOps best practices)

Full Code: GitHub Repo
Dataset: Network Traffic Samples
Pre-Trained Model: Hugging Face Hub
How to Use This Guide:
Engineers: Implement the pipeline using code images
Writers: Reuse the doc templates (Sphinx/Model Cards)
Managers: Share the benchmark table for ROI analysis
