Operational test
Evidence appears in documentation, interface cues, or governance artifacts that reflect signal credibility.
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 Signal Credibility is expected, enforced, or governed.
- Behavior signal: Observed behavior showing Signal Credibility in practice during real use or drills.
- Metric signal: Metric tracked to monitor Signal Credibility performance over time.
The trustworthiness of alerts, metrics, and reports used to govern a system. High signal credibility pairs transparent sampling, explainability for accountability , and human testimony so warnings trigger action instead of alert fatigue or dismissal. Targets & breach behavior. Measurement window: weekly precision/recall review; monthly audit. Target / floor / ceiling: target ≥ 0.85 precision, floor ≥ 0.70, ceiling false-positive rate ≥ 0.40. Owner: Traceable Ownership (must have). Breach action: pause dependent automation, recalibrate models, or require human confirmation. Public surface: published signal health via receipt, time transparency , and decision artifacts .
