Define the rules, tests, review depth, and decision authority.
Government should define what information every tool must produce, which review method applies, how results are sampled, and who can make each decision.
Publish the evidence and review rules.
Technology can support review. Authorized officials remain accountable for the decisions that law, regulation, contract, and policy assign to Government.
What you own. What others need from you.
The six roles perform different work and hold different authority. These are the facts this role has to supply, receive, and keep current.
- Owns
- Government defines the program terms, allowed methods, review criteria, legal authority, test conditions, and Government decisions.
- Produces
- The minimum fields every evidence record needs, test cases for tools, risk and escalation rules, correction paths, and named decision authorities.
- Receives
- Contractor claims, assessor findings, provider and prime context, evaluation results, and current mission and threat information.
- Rechecks when
- Revise the rules when authority, mission consequence, data sensitivity, threats, program performance, or measured burden and error rates change.
Three ways to apply it.
- 01
Publish one set of evidence fields and tests that multiple tools, providers, contractors, and assessors can use.
- 02
Test new methods without affecting any contractor before using them for certification, awards, affirmations, enforcement, or acceptance.
- 03
Set review depth from mission and data risk. Use weak evidence to trigger correction, sampling, or escalation—not to redefine the supplier’s risk tier.
Continue from this role.
Follow the shared Blueprint, examples, analysis, and current work that apply most directly to this part of the system.
- 01
Inspect the proposed review structure
Keep the safeguards while matching review depth to mission and data consequence.
- 02
Sponsor a controlled pilot
Put the working system against Government-selected cases, reviewers, measures, and operating constraints.
- 03
Compare seven policy options
Inspect security, supplier, queue, exposure, and cost results under stated assumptions.
- 04
Read the submitted policy response

Sponsor a Government-controlled pilot.
Bring a mission question, test environment, or difficult evidence case. Deep Fathom can bring the working system, synthetic benchmark, instrumentation, and pilot proposal.
