Operational test
Teams can point to a concrete example that demonstrates governability in practice.
Use this test to validate operational readiness.
Pair this test with the minimum evidence criteria to capture both qualitative and quantitative signals.
- Evidence artifact: Artifact documenting how Governability is expected, enforced, or governed.
- Behavior signal: Observed behavior showing Governability in practice during real use or drills.
- Metric signal: Metric tracked to monitor Governability performance over time.
Context
How this test fits the glossary entry
Category: Ethotechnic capabilities (what systems must be able to do)
The degree to which a system can be steered, paused, audited, corrected, or shut down after deployment. High governability requires stoppability , reversibility , and durable contestability .
C. Ethotechnic capabilities (what systems must be able to do). Design requirements that keep people safe when systems scale.
Ethotechnics uses Governability to extend the c. ethotechnic capabilities (what systems must be able to do) vocabulary and connect governance, design, and policy teams.
