Operational test
Evidence appears in documentation, interface cues, or governance artifacts that reflect normative uncertainty.
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 Normative Uncertainty is expected, enforced, or governed.
- Behavior signal: Observed behavior showing Normative Uncertainty in practice during real use or drills.
- Metric signal: Metric tracked to monitor Normative Uncertainty performance over time.
Situations where it is unclear what the “right” action is, requiring caution, clarification, or human judgment rather than confident automation. Normative uncertainty often triggers ethical interrupts and a higher actionability threshold .
