Risk Register and Waivers — Guardrails and Fix Patterns
🧭 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 ensures all known risks and temporary waivers in AI pipelines are documented, owned, and auditable.
Use this when risks are acknowledged but not tracked, lack expiry, or are invisible to audits and downstream fixes.
When to use this page
- Waivers are granted informally without expiry.
- Known risks are not logged in a central register.
- Incident or eval failures repeat due to ignored waivers.
- Risk acceptance lacks linkage to Problem Map fixes.
- Ownership for waivers or risks is missing.
Acceptance targets
- 100% of waivers have an owner, rationale, and expiry date.
- All risks logged in a register that maps back to Problem Map page.
- Coverage ≥ 0.95: every model, dataset, prompt, eval has risk review.
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 for governed outputs with waivers.
- Immutable log of all waivers linked to audit trail.
Typical breakpoints and WFGY fix
-
Waivers without expiry or owner
→ policy_baseline.md
Require baseline policy: every waiver must expire and have an owner. -
Risks tracked but disconnected from fixes
→ rag-architecture-and-recovery.md
Require mapping each risk to a Problem Map ID. -
Duplicate risks or missing register entries
→ audit_logs_and_traceability.md
Enforce immutable logs cross-checked with lineage.
Minimal risk register schema
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Risk ID | Unique identifier (RR-YYYYMMDD-###) |
| Description | Concise, technical summary of risk |
| Linked Problem Map Fix | Which Problem Map No.X mitigates this |
| Owner | Individual accountable for mitigation or acceptance |
| Expiry Date | Mandatory review/renewal date |
| Status | Open / Mitigated / Expired / Waived |
| Evidence Link | Eval result, lineage log, or waiver doc |
Example waiver entry
**Risk ID**: RR-2025-08-001
**Description**: Retrieval drift due to hybrid reranker instability.
**Linked Problem Map Fix**: No.7 (Reranker drift) → [rerankers.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md)
**Owner**: ML Ops lead (Alice K.)
**Expiry Date**: 2025-09-30
**Status**: Waived (short-term)
**Evidence**: Incident 2025-08-22, eval ΔS=0.58, coverage=0.66. Logged waiver until new reranker release.
Escalation policy
- Expired waivers auto-escalate to governance board.
- Unowned risks block model release.
- Mitigated risks require validation: ΔS ≤ 0.45, λ convergent across 3 probes.
- Waiver renewals must include evidence of attempted fix or mitigation.
