Failure state: No owner
A failure has occurred and nobody can be named with authority to reverse, compensate, or close the loop.
Without assigned ownership, harm has no designated resolution path.
Next required artifact
Start with Decision record template to lock owner, evidence scope, and reversal path before response drifts.
- Assign the accountable owner now.
- Capture evidence and timestamps in the first artifact.
- Confirm escalation handoff before opening additional tracks.
Response workflow (triage → stabilize → evidence)
-
Triage
Decision record template
Capture the failure state and decision context before evidence drifts.
Next checks: Run governability check · Review contestability standard
-
Stabilize
Escalation ladder / freeze authority table
Constrain harmful flow paths while ownership and escalation coverage are active.
Open Escalation ladder / freeze authority table
Next checks: Open escalation simulation · Review justice SLO standard
-
Evidence
Reversal SLA template
Capture records and evidence packs so repair obligations are auditable and time-bound.
Next checks: Check evidence-pack readiness · Review temporal-rights standard
Workflow follows triage → stabilize → evidence.
If a field is hard to fill, that is the governance question this artifact is designed to surface.
