Documentary Evidence Review
Required artifacts and evaluation rubric for completeness and credibility.
1. Required artifacts
Model cards, data sheets, impact assessments (algorithmic, human-rights, environmental), training-data provenance records, evaluation reports, incident logs, complaint records, governance policies, vendor contracts, and red-team summaries.
2. Completeness rubric
Each artifact is scored on Presence, Currency (≤12 months unless justified), Specificity (system-level rather than generic), and Traceability (links to evidence). A composite score below the published threshold escalates to a non-conformity under AM-06.
3. Credibility rubric
Assessors triangulate documentary claims against logs, telemetry, code, and interview testimony. Unverifiable claims are removed from the basis of determination.
4. Confidentiality handling
Trade-secret material is reviewed under a written non-disclosure protocol; public reporting uses justified redactions only.
