- Risk-acceptance criteria and delegated authority. ✓Predefined criteria and authorized decision ownership support consistent, documented residual-risk decisions before deployment.
- A mandatory review meeting after each deployment enters production.Post-deployment review can identify issues, but it does not provide criteria for making consistent acceptance decisions beforehand.
- A dashboard reporting extraction accuracy by document type.Accuracy evidence is useful, but reporting performance does not establish acceptance thresholds or decision authority.
- A standard model architecture for every document-extraction deployment.A common architecture may support engineering consistency, but it does not define acceptable residual risk or who may approve it.
The trap
Look for both measurable thresholds and authorized decision ownership, established before review. How to remember it
Predefined thresholds and decision authority make residual-risk acceptance consistent before deployment decisions occur.
