Revalidate the changed version against contextual: What control is most directly missing before release?
A material model change invalidates reliance on earlier validation; contextual revalidation must precede release.
The question
An internal employee-assistance tool receives a materially changed vendor model version. Prior validation covered the earlier version, while the use case, data sources, and escalation process remain unchanged. All other prerequisites are satisfied. What control is most directly missing before release?

- Request the vendor’s benchmark comparison for the new version and deployment contextA benchmark comparison may provide useful supplier evidence but may not test this tool against its contextual requirements.
- Update the version inventoryInventory accuracy is necessary, but it does not show that the changed version still meets operational acceptance criteria.
- Repeat only the prior model-card review and document any changed limitationsDocumentation review may identify limitations but does not test changed behavior against operational requirements and risks.
- Revalidate the changed version against contextual acceptance criteria ✓A material version change requires renewed contextual evaluation before release, even when the use case and other controls remain unchanged.
The trap
Unchanged use does not preserve old evidence when the model changes materially; recheck the actual system. How to remember it
A material model change invalidates reliance on earlier validation; contextual revalidation must precede release.
