Workflow 06 — Decision Governance

Model risk management.

Governed model decisions — inventory, validation, monitoring, and retirement — with rationale and performance evidence.

Validation findings close without paying a consultant to re-scope what was already decided.

Assets in your model inventory are governed here. AI Decisions covers the wider portfolio — everything the institution pays for, in scope or not.

What goes wrong without it

Model inventory incomplete

End-user spreadsheets and vendor tools often get used in decisions before they hit the inventory.

Performance drift unmonitored

Models pass validation once but performance over time isn't always tracked against thresholds.

Retirement decisions lag

Models stay in production past their useful life because no one owns the retire decision.

The shared decision anatomy

Every workflow follows the same five steps. Here’s how model risk management uses them, with the artifact captured at each step.

01 Signal
New model request, validation trigger, or performance threshold breach. New PD model proposed for validation before deployment.
→ Model event record
02 Owner
Model Risk Officer; Model Risk Committee for material models. SR 26-2 model risk profile drives routing.
→ Owner + committee
03 Decision
Approve / condition / decline, with validation findings, limitations, and intended use documented.
→ Model decision memo
04 Action
Implementation, monitoring cadence, and override authority captured.
→ Action log
05 Outcome
Model performance tracked against assumptions. Drift, overrides, and retirements on the record.
→ Outcome record

What you’ll see

A live view of every item, its owner, its deadline, and the evidence behind its current status.

Built for the Model Risk Officer

Replaces the model inventory spreadsheet, the validation report library, and the ad-hoc validation sign-off emails. Gives the MRO one register covering every model from proposal to retirement.

Apex linkage

Strategic & Board Decisions inherit operational evidence from this workflow. Decisions made here flow upward to the apex layer automatically — a board-level capital, risk-appetite, or strategic-plan decision ties back to the operational record beneath it.
