Release Evidence Index

LMU/COICP Example

Release Evidence Index Example

Index the LMU/COICP evidence used for the RC-001 release decision, including stage evidence, testing findings, guardrails, AI status, defects, scope limits, and evidence gaps.

ES-110 Evidence Release Basis

Example purpose

This artifact indexes the evidence used for the ES-110 release-readiness decision.

The index shows what evidence supports internal review, what evidence blocks operational pilot, and what must be carried into Operations, Deployment, Monitoring, Stewardship, and Governance.

Evidence strengths

  • Requirements, planning, architecture, and design are coherent with the LMU project story.
  • Implementation and integration evidence identify partial and deferred work.
  • Testing evidence captures both passing normal paths and open release blockers.
  • Guardrail evidence identifies normal-path support and failure-path gaps.
  • AI evidence confirms AI Incident Summary is disabled.
  • Release scope can be limited to LMU internal review.
  • Evidence is strong enough to avoid a full release deferral.

Evidence gaps

Gap Release Impact Owner
Full access-control matrix testing incomplete Blocks real-user pilot IT security reviewer
Evidence write failure behavior not verified Blocks operational pilot Architecture Review Board chair
Invalid status transition rejection has open defect Blocks operational workflow pilot Product Engineer
Emergency-boundary test not fully formalized Blocks pilot Product Engineer / Campus Safety liaison
Build/test command evidence incomplete Weakens repeatability Product Engineer
Final retention policy unresolved Blocks production/sensitive data Compliance reviewer
Post-incident review export deferred Excluded from release Product Owner
AI Incident Summary workflow deferred Excluded from release AI reviewer

Evidence interpretation

The evidence supports:

LMU internal engineering review only.

The evidence does not support:

  • operational pilot;
  • real campus incident use;
  • production or sensitive data;
  • AI Incident Summary release;
  • broad stakeholder deployment.

Evidence decision

The evidence index is sufficient for ES-110 decision-making because it identifies both supporting evidence and release-blocking gaps.
