Require source records: Which approach satisfies that constraint?
Source records, transformation history, and versioned lineage directly establish where training data came from and how preparation can be reproduced.
The question
An employment-screening vendor reports strong validation results, but the buyer cannot identify several training-data sources or reconstruct how records were transformed. The approval committee requires traceable origins and repeatable preparation, while allowing either vendor or buyer documentation. Which approach satisfies that constraint?

- Request a broad description of the vendor’s data categories.Category descriptions provide context, but they do not identify source records, transformations, versions, or reconstruction responsibilities.
- Accept the vendor’s accuracy report and deployment references.Accuracy and references do not establish where training records originated or how transformations can be reproduced.
- Recreate an independent validation sample while retaining undocumented vendor training data.Independent validation can test performance, but undocumented training data still prevents assessment of origins, transformations, and limitations.
- Require source records, transformation history, and versioned lineage for training data. ✓These artifacts establish provenance and repeatable preparation, directly satisfying the committee’s traceability and reconstruction requirements.
The trap
Separate evidence about how well a model performs from evidence about where its training data came from and how it changed. How to remember it
Source records, transformation history, and versioned lineage directly establish where training data came from and how preparation can be reproduced.
