Record the event as a near miss: What should the evidence support?
Prevented harm remains operational evidence; recurring near misses should be documented for corrective action.
The question
A research-administration model flags a grant record for review, but a human corrects it before any submission or disclosure occurs. Similar events recur, and the team records only completed incidents. What should the evidence support?

- Count only completed disclosuresLimiting records to realized harm loses evidence about warning signs and opportunities to improve controls before recurrence.
- Replace incident tracking with aggregate accuracyAggregate accuracy cannot capture rare near misses, operational consequences, or the effectiveness of intervention and escalation.
- Record the event as a near miss ✓A prevented harmful event still provides incident and corrective-action evidence for monitoring recurring system weaknesses.
- Treat the correction as validation successSuccessful intervention demonstrates an oversight opportunity, but does not establish that the underlying model behavior is acceptable.
The trap
Ask whether the event reveals a control weakness, not merely whether harm was completed. How to remember it
