ES-113 Evidence¶
Purpose¶
This page defines the evidence expected from ES-113.
Operations and monitoring evidence demonstrates whether the deployed scope operated within approved limits and what was learned during operation.
Required evidence¶
| Artifact | Evidence Purpose |
|---|---|
operations_monitoring_overview.md |
Connects deployment to monitoring. |
monitoring_log.md |
Records monitoring checks. |
operational_event_log.md |
Records operational events. |
incident_log.md |
Records incidents and response. |
access_and_data_monitoring.md |
Confirms access and data limits. |
guardrail_monitoring.md |
Tracks operational guardrails. |
ai_monitoring_record.md |
Tracks AI status and controls. |
user_feedback_log.md |
Records feedback and observations. |
risk_and_issue_updates.md |
Records changed risks and issues. |
operations_monitoring_summary.md |
Summarizes readiness for ES-114. |
Evidence quality expectations¶
Monitoring evidence should be traceable to deployment and operational scope, time-aware, honest about incidents and gaps, explicit about access and data, explicit about guardrails, explicit about AI status, clear about feedback, and useful for learning and stewardship.
Operations evidence quality test¶
Operations evidence is adequate when a reviewer can answer:
- What scope was operated?
- Who used it?
- What data was used?
- What was monitored?
- What events occurred?
- What incidents occurred?
- Were guardrails preserved?
- Did AI status remain correct?
- What feedback was received?
- What risks changed?
- Should the system continue, pause, stop, or transition to ES-114?
Absence of incidents¶
If no incidents occurred, record that explicitly.
A blank incident log is ambiguous. A reviewed incident log stating that no incidents occurred during a defined window is evidence.
Feedback as evidence¶
Feedback should be treated as operational evidence, not casual commentary.
Capture source, context, severity, related capability, action taken, and follow-up needs.
Do not record only failures. Successful monitoring checks are also evidence.
Operational evidence is the raw material for stewardship.
