Required data provenance, training data curation logs, eval benchmarks, and architectural model cards that meet Article 11 standards before production launch.
3. 72-Hour Incident Reporting Engine
The operational protocol to detect, quarantine, and notify national competent authorities within 72 hours of any serious algorithmic incident or systemic failure.
4. Human Oversight & Logging
Enforcing human-in-the-loop stop switches, output validation gates, and immutable automated logging (Article 12) for at least six months of inference data.
