How a record is made
The Production AI Desk replaces personal bylines with a repeatable pipeline: observe public evidence, extract structured records, verify sources, pass a deterministic publication gate, then publish to the graph. Failed candidates are quarantined — not silently dropped.
Pipeline
- 1. Observe
Fleet loops watch public disclosures, incidents, policy changes, and Lab outputs.
- 2. Extract
Candidates become structured entities, events, and sources with schema fields and fingerprints.
- 3. Verify
Source tier, corroboration, and confidence are evaluated against public evidence only.
- 4. Gate
All ten checks must pass; otherwise the record is quarantined — never silently dropped.
- 5. Publish
Approved records promote into the public graph seed and ship with canonical URLs.
Ten-check publication gate
Every record must pass all checks before publication. This is the automated control that replaces a human approval queue.
Every claim traces to a URL any reader can open without credentials.
Primary, secondary, or tertiary tier is assigned and stored with the record.
High- and critical-severity incidents require at least two independent public sources.
ID, title, summary, canonical path, source refs, and confidence are all present.
Confidence score is at or above 0.6 before publication.
Fingerprint matches an existing published record are blocked.
Incidents, assessments, and policy changes include PSF domain mapping when relevant.
Customer, credential, or other non-public data is rejected at the gate.
Title, metadata, and site-relative canonical path pass validation.
Every published record has a documented correction and retraction route.
Standards and examinations
The Production Safety Framework is grounded in deployed production systems — exam feedback, portfolio submissions, ecosystem assessments, and incident analysis all feed revisions. PAI does not operate a formal external advisory board; framework development is driven by practitioner evidence and published criteria.
Foundation and specialist examinations are developed against real deployment scenarios, reviewed for item quality, and maintained as the PSF evolves. Credential verification remains public at /certify/verify.
