Failure state: Model wrong

The model output is wrong in a way that matters, and the organization cannot reliably detect, correct, or reverse the downstream effects within bounded time.

The primary failure is detection and recovery, not accuracy.

Next required artifact

Start with Reversal SLA template. It fixes the owner, the evidence scope, and the reversal path before the response drifts.

  1. Assign the accountable owner now.
  2. Capture evidence and timestamps in the first artifact.
  3. Confirm escalation handoff before opening additional tracks.

Response workflow (triage → stabilize → evidence)

Mechanism, drawn

One artifact per stage

Each stage opens one artifact. The first fixes the owner, the evidence scope, and the reversal path.

1 · Triage Reversal SLA template 2 · Stabilize Escalation ladder / freeze authority table 3 · Evidence Harm receipt format

  1. Triage

    Reversal SLA template

    Capture the failure state and decision context before evidence drifts.

    Open Reversal SLA template

    Next checks: Run governability check · Review contestability standard

  2. Stabilize

    Escalation ladder / freeze authority table

    Stop or narrow the harmful flow while the owner and the escalation path are in place.

    Open Escalation ladder / freeze authority table

    Next checks: Open escalation simulation · Review human impact safety case

  3. Evidence

    Harm receipt format

    Assemble the records and the evidence pack, so each repair obligation can be audited against its clock.

    Open Harm receipt format

    Next checks: Check record conformance · Review temporal-rights standard

If a field in these artifacts is hard to fill, that is the governance gap this failure state exposes.
