Documented decision authority and escalation assignments: Which evidence would most directly resolve this
The uncertainty concerns authority, escalation, roles, and resources—core GOVERN evidence rather than testing or mitigation evidence.
The question
A public agency is considering an AI system for benefit administration. Testing is complete, but reviewers disagree about who may approve deployment, when escalation is required, and which team controls resources. Which evidence would most directly resolve this uncertainty?

- Documented decision authority and escalation assignments. ✓GOVERN establishes accountability, decision authority, escalation, roles, and resources, directly addressing the reviewers’ unresolved uncertainty.
- A revised public notice describing the system’s intended benefits.Transparency about benefits may help stakeholders, but it does not assign internal authority, escalation, or resource control.
- A mitigation plan listing technical safeguards and monitoring metrics.Mitigation and monitoring details address treatment and measurement, but do not resolve organizational decision rights and escalation ownership.
- Additional accuracy testing across applicant subgroups.Subgroup testing can inform performance risk, but it does not establish who approves deployment or controls escalation and resources.
The trap
Match the evidence request to the uncertainty: authority questions require governance records, not more performance metrics. How to remember it
The uncertainty concerns authority, escalation, roles, and resources—core GOVERN evidence rather than testing or mitigation evidence.
