Minimum Requirements per Class
Purpose
This page defines the minimum artifact requirements, validity windows, and review cadence per risk class.
Minimum requirements are normative baselines. Scopes may adopt stricter values; never weaker.
Class A - Minimum GTAF set
Required - SB - DR - RB if delegation is semi/autonomous (optional for assistive) - DRC for any semi/autonomous activation
Validity & cadence - Review cycle: annual or event‑based - Escalation path must exist (may be simple) - EIS optional (recommended if time‑to‑harm < 1 day)
Operational add‑ons - DRB optional - DVM optional
Class B - Elevated governance rigor
Required - SB with explicit included/excluded and interface list - DR with strict impact limits and expiry policy - RB mandatory for any delegation beyond assistive - DRC mandatory for activation; validity window must be bounded - DRB mandatory review regime - EIS mandatory if time‑to‑harm is short or rollback is slow - Evidence and reachability requirements per Evidence & Reachability Rules
Validity & cadence - Review cycle: at least quarterly - DRC validity window: typically 30–90 days or event‑based - Escalation reachability MUST be verified (evidence references)
Operational add‑ons - DVM baseline recommended
Class C - Mission-critical structural discipline
Required (non‑negotiable) - SB with legal/org mapping and enforceability expectations - DR with rigorous boundaries, excluded actions, explicit exception policy - RB with mandate origin, outcome owner, escalation owner, handover rules - DRC as a strict gate with a short validity window - DRB formal regime with drift signals and explicit outputs - EIS mandatory with reachable activation mechanism - DVM mandatory baseline with thresholds and reporting cadence - Evidence and reachability requirements per Evidence & Reachability Rules
Validity & cadence - Review cycle: at least monthly (or tighter if time‑to‑harm is immediate) - DRC validity window: typically 7–30 days or strictly event‑based - Any meaningful change triggers immediate revalidation
Reachability requirements - Escalation and intervention reachability MUST be demonstrated as evidence - “Reachable under stress” is the assumption, not “reachable in theory”
Validity windows & review cadence (summary)
Table T‑01 — Validity Windows & Review Cadence
| Class | Review cycle | DRC validity window (typical) | DRB required | EIS required | DVM baseline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Annual / event‑based | Event‑based / up to 90 days | Optional | Optional | Optional |
| B | Quarterly | 30–90 days / event‑based | Mandatory | Conditional → often mandatory | Recommended |
| C | Monthly (or tighter) | 7–30 days / event‑based | Mandatory | Mandatory | Mandatory |
The numbers above are normative defaults. Scopes may adopt stricter values; never weaker.
