01 / EXECUTIVE OUTCOME

Make the decision before becoming committed to the technology.

Begin with the institutional problem, authority, affected population and credible alternatives. Then determine whether the evidence and operating conditions justify a controlled commitment.

02 / SEVEN-DOMAIN GATE

Each domain must withstand executive scrutiny.

  1. 01

    Problem & authority

    Is the decision legitimate, necessary and clearly owned?

  2. 02

    Options & necessity

    Has AI been compared with credible non-AI alternatives?

  3. 03

    Evidence

    Are provenance, relevance, comparators, uncertainty and validation visible?

  4. 04

    Value

    Is success defined beyond deployment and vendor performance claims?

  5. 05

    Risk & harm

    Are affected populations and critical blockers treated explicitly?

  6. 06

    Readiness

    Can safeguards, escalation and human oversight operate in practice?

  7. 07

    Accountability & exit

    Are owners, monitoring, review dates, recovery and stopping rules named?

PROCEED

Bounded authorization

Evidence and controls justify a limited commitment with measurable conditions.

REVISE

Correct before commitment

Important gaps can be resolved through specified evidence, safeguards or redesign.

STOP

Do not proceed

A critical blocker, unacceptable harm or failure of necessity prevents authorization.
