01.1 — What matters here
Committee-grade evidence, decision-grade trails.
- Model-risk alignment
- Documentation and validation artefacts structured to fit model inventory, validation and periodic-review processes.
- Decision traceability
- Every system output reconstructable: inputs, retrieved documents, model versions, guardrail verdicts, human sign-off.
- Explainability
- Outputs carry structured rationales a credit or risk committee can interrogate.
- Data boundaries
- Client and counterparty data handled under strict residency and retention constraints, disclosed sub-processors only.
A lender wants LLM assistance summarising document-heavy credit files. The pipeline that answers this cites its source passages in every summary, fails closed when a document is missing, logs each step to an audit record, and leaves final judgement with the credit officer — whose sign-off is part of the trail.
