Escalation and Governance — Guardrails and Fix Pattern

🧭 Quick Return to Map

You are in a sub-page of Governance.
To reorient, go back here:

• Governance — policy enforcement and compliance controls
• WFGY Global Fix Map — main Emergency Room, 300+ structured fixes
• WFGY Problem Map 1.0 — 16 reproducible failure modes

Think of this page as a desk within a ward.
If you need the full triage and all prescriptions, return to the Emergency Room lobby.

This page defines how AI incidents and unresolved failures should be escalated, and how governance boards enforce compliance, accountability, and structural fixes.
It ensures that no bug or bias can stay hidden, and that every systemic failure is linked back to a permanent WFGY solution.

When to use this page

• Incident or bug repeats despite local fixes.
• Users escalate “model is unsafe / biased / opaque” issues.
• Regulatory or audit deadlines require traceability.
• Stakeholders demand oversight board review.

---

Acceptance targets

• All escalations include ΔS, λ, and traceability logs.
• Time to escalation ≤ 48h from repeated failure.
• Governance board review within 7 days.
• Root cause mapped to permanent fix in Problem Map.
• Closure requires reproducible test verifying stability.

Escalation workflow

1. Detection
   Incident flagged by eval probes, logs, or user complaint.

2. Triage
   Confirm reproducibility with ΔS(question,retrieved) and λ stability check.
   If non-reproducible, open debug-playbook.md.

3. Escalation trigger

   • Failure repeats after fix attempt.
   • Bias, hallucination, or data misuse with risk impact.
   • Structural bug outside local operator scope.

4. Governance board review

   • Present logs, traces, ΔS, λ, and evaluation reports.
   • Link failure mode to WFGY Problem Map module.
   • Decide on structural remediation and policy changes.

5. Closure

   • Verify with reproducible test case.
   • Publish fix log with reference to Problem Map.
   • Update governance registry.

Typical escalation cases → exact fixes

Case	Likely cause	Open this
Repeated hallucination despite retraining	pipeline missing retrieval traceability	retrieval-traceability.md, data-contracts.md
Bias flagged in production	missing bias mitigation and eval probes	ethics_and_bias_mitigation.md
Provider-specific failure repeated	orchestration mismatch	LLM Providers README
Compliance violation	misaligned storage or logging gaps	audit_and_logging.md, regulatory_alignment.md
Escalation without evidence	missing ΔS/λ logs	eval_playbook.md

---

Governance registry minimum contents

• Incident ID and category
• ΔS logs, λ trajectory, coverage %
• Root cause classification → Problem Map link
• Assigned governance reviewer
• Resolution summary
• Verification test logs
