01 · Operating challenge
What this evidence must resolve.
Documents can be retrieved, but important answers remain unreliable because source ownership, access boundaries, freshness and correction are inconsistent.
02 · Method
Build the record in a controlled sequence.
- 01
Identify authoritative repositories, owners and permitted purposes.
- 02
Define classification, access and retrieval boundaries.
- 03
Preserve source references and confidence context in important answers.
- 04
Evaluate retrieval and answer quality against representative business questions.
03 · Controls and acceptance
Make the decision testable.
Control spine
- Named source ownership
- Purpose- and identity-based access
- Provenance attached to important answers
- Freshness and correction workflow
Acceptance evidence
- Approved-source register is complete
- Access tests pass for representative roles
- Answer-quality thresholds pass agreed evaluation
- Freshness and correction responsibilities are operational
04 · Evidence artifacts
What the decision record contains.
Source register
Records authority, ownership, classification and freshness.
Retrieval evaluation
Tests source selection, grounding and answer quality.
Correction log
Routes knowledge failures to accountable owners.
05 · Evidence boundary
What this record does not claim.
This is an illustrative evidence pattern. A knowledge service is not a single source of truth unless governance and source ownership genuinely support that status.
