What does the ai exception workflow produce?
Record a temporary AI governance exception, its safeguards, approval state and expiry without treating the request as approval.
Prepare and review the task-specific records in this browser. Inspect consistency findings and retain the complete backup before preparing the finalized pack. Accountable decisions require responsible review.
What do you need before you start?
- Define the named scope, accountable owner and your review basis.
- Retain the actual evidence separately. Recorded links and evidence references are declarations and are not fetched.
- Choose a valid review date. Resolve missing fields, contradictory declarations and date or status findings before relying on the review.
