GOV-11Regulatory documentation pack

For agents classified as high-risk under applicable regulation, a technical documentation pack equivalent to EU AI Act Annex IV is maintained and updated on material change.

For each agent classified as high-risk under applicable regulation (e.g., EU AI Act Annex III), a technical documentation pack is maintained covering system description, design specifications, data governance, monitoring evidence, accuracy and robustness metrics, and risk-management process records. The pack is updated on every material change and is available for regulatory inspection.

(Critical)A Critical failure precludes HI-AAF Certification regardless of the maturity level achieved on any other control.

Table GOV-11.1 · Maturity criteria · v.1.3

L1 to L5 · the lowest level in scope caps the agent
L1Ad hoc

Controls exist informally; documentation is incomplete; no consistent review.

L2Documented

Controls are written down; ownership is assigned; review cadence is defined.

L3Operated

Controls are followed in practice; evidence is collected; deviations are tracked.

Documentation packs exist for all high-risk agents; packs are current within the documented cadence; the most recent update aligns with the date of the last material change in the change-management record.

L4Measured

Control effectiveness is measured against documented thresholds; trends are reported.

L5Continuously Improved

Controls evolve based on incident learning; maturity gains are evidenced over time.

The v1.3 edition publishes a control-specific criterion at L3 (Operated). The other levels apply the general ladder to this control; see the maturity ladder.

Evidence an assessor asks for

  1. E.1

    Documentation packs exist for all high-risk agents.

  2. E.2

    Packs are current within the documented cadence.

  3. E.3

    The most recent update aligns with the date of the last material change in the change-management record.
