Governance Rail

  • • One version moves through five ordered phases
  • • Independent validation is a distinct phase, not a checkbox
  • • Monitoring is an ongoing phase feeding revalidation

Gates + Alerts

  • • The approval gate can send a model back or reject it
  • • Monitoring raises drift alerts on threshold breach
  • • A flagged model recovers to the rail or is retired

Terminal Exits

  • • Rejected models never reach production
  • • Retired models are decommissioned with an audit trail
  • • Terminal exits do not point back into production use
