Plain-language answer
Is this bounded AI workflow ready for qualified assurance review?
The record evaluates purpose and boundary, data and tool conditions, human accountability, evaluation evidence, exception handling, independent challenge, and change control.
Short answer
Use evidence that can survive a second reader.
- Draft means one or more essential controls, owners, or tests are missing.
- Controlled requires boundaries, ownership, approved conditions, expected and prohibited-use tests, and no unresolved material change.
- Assurance-ready for review additionally requires the complete minimum test set, organization-defined thresholds, current evidence date, deployment-condition match, incident route, change triggers, and an independent reviewer.
- A failed threshold, disputed evidence, deployment mismatch, or material change prevents assurance-ready status.
- Material change returns the record to Review required until the relevant regression set is rerun.
