Our guidance

Set the acceptance threshold and the decision rule

Fix the metric, the baseline, the threshold and the action that follows a pass or a fail. The public text names robustness properties but states no threshold, so the number must come from your risk appetite, your quality model or a contract.

The requirement in plain English

Fix the metric, the baseline, the threshold and the action that follows a pass or a fail. The public text names robustness properties but states no threshold, so the number must come from your risk appetite, your quality model or a contract.

What the public record says

The public text states no threshold, no metric and no pass mark. It places robustness inside a quality model and describes assessment as one step to build trust.

Why it matters to you

Without a threshold, a result cannot fail, and an assessment that cannot fail is not an assessment. The threshold is a risk decision, not a statistical one, which is why it belongs to the risk owner and needs a date and a signature. The decision rule also protects the team: it says in advance what happens if the result is adverse, so the conversation after the run is about the action, not about the number.

Evidence a reviewer asks for

  • The metric definition and the baseline.
  • The threshold, the risk owner's signature and the date.
  • The decision rule for a pass, a marginal result and a fail.
  • The escalation path and the remediation owner.

Checks to run this month

  1. Is the threshold signed by the risk owner?
  2. Is the baseline recorded on the same data?
  3. Is the action after a fail written down?

Dates

Set before the first run. Review at the evidence freeze, 2027-01-17.
