Guardrail Review¶
Example purpose¶
This artifact records the ES-108 guardrail review.
Guardrail review asks whether implementation preserved the engineering controls established in Requirements, Architecture, Design, and Controlled Implementation.

| AI Incident Summary | Deferred / disabled |
| Operational pilot | Not approved |
Guardrail check¶
| Guardrail | Applies To | Evidence Reviewed | Result | Downstream Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
G-001 Official state changes create EvidenceEvent |
IW-003, IW-004 | implementation_evidence.md, verification_notes.md |
Partial pass | DEF-003 if failure path unverified |
| G-002 AI summaries remain draft until accepted | IW-006 / deferred | implementation_decision_records.md, AI review |
Pass | AI remains disabled |
| G-003 Access checks before protected actions | IW-003–IW-005 | access-control implementation notes | Partial pass | DEF-002 |
| G-004 Emergency incidents not handled as normal COICP incidents | IW-003, IW-007 | error behavior notes | Partial pass | DEF-004 |
| G-005 Retention assumptions not hard-coded | data implementation | compliance inspection notes | Pass | retention governance still needed |
| G-006 Direct updates do not bypass evidence | all state-changing work | implementation review | Partial pass | DEF-003 / handoff evidence risk |
Violations¶
No confirmed guardrail violations were found during integration review.
Exceptions accepted for integration only¶
| Exception | Rationale | Follow-Up |
|---|---|---|
| AI Incident Summary feature deferred. | Deferral preserves AI review boundary. | Revisit before enabling AI. |
| Review/export implementation deferred. | Core evidence behavior must stabilize first. | Carry to later design/testing cycle. |
| Full access matrix incomplete. | Basic checks exist; no real-user pilot is allowed. | Carry to ES-109. |
| Retention policy unresolved. | No production or sensitive data is in scope. | Carry to release/governance. |
Follow-up required¶
- Add status update evidence behavior tests.
- Add access-control matrix tests.
- Add emergency-boundary behavior tests with Campus Safety.
- Review direct-update bypass risk for update workflow.
- Test evidence write failure path.
- Preserve AI Incident Summary disablement.
- Preserve synthetic-data-only posture for downstream review.
Decision¶
Guardrails preserved with follow-up required.
The implementation may be integrated conditionally because no confirmed guardrail violations were found and open guardrail gaps are visible.
