Pause deployment for accountable review: Which action best applies the policy?
Pause deployment until accountable review resolves subgroup evidence and escalation authority.
The question
Under the university's internal AI governance policy, an admissions department wants an AI prioritization tool launched before enrollment opens. The vendor reports strong overall accuracy, but subgroup validation is incomplete and no escalation threshold has been approved. The commercial sponsor requests immediate deployment.

- Proceed on schedule using the vendor's aggregate accuracy result.Aggregate accuracy does not resolve incomplete subgroup evidence or the absence of an approved escalation threshold.
- Ask the vendor to complete subgroup validation after launch.Deferring validation would leave a known evidence gap during deployment rather than resolving it before the consequential admissions use.
- Let the commercial sponsor set the escalation threshold for admissions staff.A sponsor's launch interest does not substitute for an approved governance decision by the accountable university authority.
- Pause deployment for accountable review. ✓The policy requires the university to resolve the subgroup evidence gap and assign escalation authority before launching the admissions tool.
The trap
When evidence and decision rights are both unresolved, identify the accountable review action rather than accepting urgency as a control. How to remember it
Pause deployment until accountable review resolves subgroup evidence and escalation authority.
