Human Review & Release Checklists

Human review is a control for uncertain, high-impact, or low-confidence cases. A release checklist makes AI risk explicit before users discover it the hard way.
  • Escalation defines safe failure
  • Reviewers need evidence, not just output
  • Review data improves the system
  • Checklists prevent demo blindness
  • High-stakes domains need stronger gates
  • Review must have authority

Task fitWhy is AI needed instead of deterministic code?
EvalDo we have representative and adversarial examples?
GroundingCan outputs be tied to evidence where needed?
SafetyWhat should the system refuse or escalate?
PrivacyWhat enters prompts, logs, indexes, and review queues?
SecurityCan untrusted text influence tools or leak data?
FairnessWhich slices must be checked?
OperationsCan we monitor, roll back, and audit?
Human reviewWho reviews uncertain/high-impact cases?
Review routing
Review should be targeted at cases where human judgment changes the outcome.
