01BuildDefine what trustworthy means
Register the application, version the test cases, and combine quality, safety, latency, and cost checks into an immutable evaluation suite.
EvidenceVersioned applications, datasets, evaluators, suites, and checksums
02EvaluateCompare the candidate with the baseline
Run both versions against the same cases and conditions, then inspect case-level outcomes, score distributions, regressions, and execution evidence.
EvidencePaired outputs, evaluator results, traces, usage, and reproducible run snapshots
03ReleaseTurn evidence into a controlled decision
Apply versioned policies to the complete result set so approval, rejection, and exception handling remain explainable and auditable.
EvidencePolicy version, decision rationale, approval record, and signed deployment attestation
04ObserveMeasure the deployed system in context
Connect production telemetry to the approved version and watch quality, drift, errors, latency, tokens, and cost across environments.
EvidenceAuthenticated telemetry, sampled evaluations, traces, drift windows, and deployment identity
05RespondInvestigate and recover with provenance
Route incidents to the right operators, preserve the triggering evidence, coordinate recovery, and carry what was learned into the next evaluation cycle.
EvidenceIncident timeline, acknowledgements, delivery attempts, recovery actions, and audit history
Correct content is not sufficient here. The source was superseded and the policy requires current evidence.
