Independent validation of Model M cannot review what was never written. This note decides what must be documented before validation is booked, applying the eleven-item documentation list already stated in model risk management to M's long-short weight engine — without inventing a twelfth regulatory requirement or reteaching the full lifecycle.
Learning objectives. By the end of this note you should be able to:
- map each of the eleven headings onto a concrete sentence about M;
- prioritise limitations and restrictions of use as the misuse control;
- refuse a validation booking when restrictions of use are absent;
- connect documentation fields to the run record and the test suite.
In this lesson

- Materiality without inventing scores
