Models / Model Launch Check

Decide a model release against the same checks.

Put every model candidate through the same checks. Get a ship, hold, or return decision with the evidence behind it. Execution remains pending until case-level evidence is verified.

Design partnerScoped around one candidate set and release decision; production execution and delivery proof remain program-specific.

Input, work, and output

Input

What you provide

  • Named model candidates and versions
  • Locked rubric, thresholds, and measurement version
  • Release policy, approvers, and rollback owner

Work

What happens

  • Run the same evaluation and operating checks
  • Compare deltas, cost, and failed examples
  • Request regression replays and expose verified blockers before approval

Output

What you receive

  • Ship, hold, or return decision
  • Required checks and completed approvals
  • Launch file, rollback plan, and retained regressions

Decision flow

Move from intake to review and handoff with clear owners at every step.

  1. 01

    Candidate input

    Confirm candidate versions, owners, and the intended release.

    Candidate manifest

  2. 02

    Same-check comparison

    Lock the rubric and source slice before scores or rank are displayed.

  3. 03

    Regression replay

    Replay retained failures and keep each failed case visible.

    Regression outcomes and affected versions

  4. 04

    Blockers

    Name every requirement that failed, expired, or is missing.

    Blocker owner and recovery

  5. 05

    Approval

    Show who can approve, who has approved, and what remains.

    Approval chain and timestamps

  6. 06

    Launch file

    Export the decision, its evidence, and the rollback plan.

OutcomeWorkWhat you receiveProgram fit
ShipEvery required check passes. Approvals are current. Rollback is in place.Source-linked results, approvers, and the launch manifest.The launch file covers the approved candidate, its checks, and the rollback plan.
HoldA required check fails, expires, or lacks sufficient evidence.The blocking criterion, its owner, and the next action.The owner and required next action remain visible until the blocker is cleared.
Return for workThe candidate needs remediation, new evaluation, or a corrected release record.Returned items, the responsible owner, and the review route.The candidate returns through the same checks after the required work is complete.

Inspectable evidence

Candidate comparison exposes the decision, not a leaderboard.

Release review with descriptive states, named owners, and next actions.

Interactive walkthrough

Compare two candidates under one locked launch check.

Select candidates and a launch criterion to see where each release is ready, needs review, or remains blocked.
