A look at what’s inside · 7 pages
What it is
A model produces confident output whether or not it is correct. The Output Verdict is the human judgment that decides whether to trust it — five fast tests you run before you rely on anything a machine made.
Accountability cannot be delegated to a tool. When the work goes out, a person answers for it, so a person has to judge it first. This checklist makes that judgment quick and repeatable.

How to use it
