Table 9 Summary of Key Findings Aligned with Research Questions.

From: Hybrid MLOps framework for automated lifecycle management of adaptive phishing detection models

Research question

Empirical evidence

Interpretive significance

RQ1: Performance under drift

Drift recovery in 18s; feature substitution restored F1 \(\approx\) 0.995

Resilience to adversarial changes

RQ2: Subsystem contributions

Ablation confirmed SHAP/drift modules critical to stability (F1-drop: 0.0135; p<0.01) (§ 6.4)

Explainability and fairness are integral

RQ3: Benchmark comparison

Outperformed baselines in fairness (\(\Delta _{\textrm{DP}}<\) 0.08) and drift latency (18s vs. 92s and a 300s simulated manual response).

Establishes novelty beyond existing frameworks.

RQ4: Scalability and fairness

Maintained \(\Delta _{\textrm{DP}} \le 0.03\) at 2.3k RPS; 41.6ms p99 latency ( §§ 6.6–6.7)

Ethics and speed achievable at scale
