Reproducible code and eleven-item documentation make Model M inspectable. Governance decides whether the inspectable object is fit for a bounded trial. This topic forces four judgements: which assumptions are load-bearing, which timestamp is legal for a weight at , what simpler rule M must beat on the same cost model and dates, and whether Independent Validation rates the proposed paper trial Green, Amber or Red on process / performance / usage.
By the end of this note you should be able to:
- build an owned assumption register for M's linear long-short construction;
- sketch lineage from vendor file to weight with observation versus availability time;
- compare M to a stated challenger without treating an in-sample win as out-of-sample proof;
- write a short validation memo with one remedial and one recommended action.
