Accountability Eval Kit

How accountable is this workflow?

Assess six capabilities across the accountability chain. The result is a structured design conversation—not a certification or legal conclusion.

Synthetic operational environment
01 · AuthorityIs decision authority explicit and enforced?
02 · EvidenceCan a reviewer inspect relevant evidence and its limits?
03 · InterventionCan people do more than accept or reject?
04 · TraceabilityCan the decision be reconstructed later?
05 · RecoveryCan harmful outcomes be stopped or reversed?
06 · MonitoringDoes oversight continue after deployment?

Design proposition 04

A mature model inside an immature operating system is still an accountability risk.

Evaluation must include the organisation around the model: who decides, what they know, how they intervene and whether the outcome can be contested.
