- The model’s technical owner understands its implementation.Technical understanding remains useful, but it does not establish that internal employee support and direct traveler service have equivalent risks.
- Existing documentation can inform continued monitoring.Documentation can support monitoring, yet it does not preserve assumptions about users, impacts, or necessary independent challenge.
- The operational owner can substitute for independent challenge. ✓Direct service to travelers creates broader stakeholder impacts, so operational ownership should not replace independent challenge.
- Employee feedback remains one source of evidence about system performance.Employee feedback may remain informative, but it cannot represent traveler experiences or replace independent oversight of the changed use.
