This page defines **auditability standards** for AI pipelines.
Without consistent logging, you cannot prove compliance, detect drift, or reproduce failures.
Use this guide to lock observability into ingestion, retrieval, reasoning, and generation steps.
---
## When to use this page
- You need verifiable traces for legal, regulatory, or enterprise compliance.
- Investigations require replay of a user query and its retrieval sources.
- You must detect hallucinations or drift in production runs.
- Customers or auditors ask for explainability and reproducibility.
---
## Acceptance targets
- Logs capture ΔS and λ states at every RAG/reasoning step.
- ≥ 95% of user queries have matching citation and snippet logs.
- Audit trail includes source corpus, license_id, and index version.
- Drift alerts trigger when ΔS ≥ 0.60 or λ flips divergent across seeds.
- Replay is possible within 5 minutes for any production query.

## Common failures → exact fixes
| Symptom | Likely cause | Open this |
|---------|--------------|-----------|
| Retrieval answers not reproducible | no snippet_id trace | [retrieval-traceability.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) |
| Citations missing or out of sync | no schema contract in logs | [data-contracts.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md) |
| No evidence of dataset license in audit | ingestion lacks rights metadata | [license_and_dataset_rights.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Governance/license_and_dataset_rights.md) |
| ΔS or λ not recorded | metrics missing in pipeline | [deltaS_thresholds.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Eval/deltaS_thresholds.md), [lambda_observe.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Eval/lambda_observe.md) |
| Drift appears only in production, not tests | no live probes | [live_monitoring_rag.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/ops/live_monitoring_rag.md) |

## Fix in 60 seconds
1. **Traceability schema**
Require `snippet_id, section_id, source_url, offsets, tokens` in every retrieval log.
2. **Metrics capture**
Record ΔS and λ per retrieval and reasoning step.
3. **Rights + versioning**
Always log `license_id`, `rights_holder`, and `index_hash`.
4. **Live probes**
Stream ΔS ≥ 0.60 alerts to monitoring dashboards.
5. **Replayable store**
Store logs in immutable KV or append-only DB. Replay query with same index_hash.
---
## Minimal audit checklist
- [ ] Logs stored in append-only or write-once medium.
- [ ] Each retrieval step includes ΔS, λ, snippet schema.
- [ ] Each generation step includes citations and source anchors.
- [ ] Expired datasets flagged in logs.
- [ ] Replay command tested weekly.
