## Section 4: Review Processes

### Triggers
- Pre-release deployment
- Significant model/data change
- New use case
- Post-incident
- Annual periodic

### Reviewers and sign-offs
[Roles and responsibilities]

Criterios de evaluación

Framework es production-ready si:

  • Cubre 9 sections + appendices
  • Ethics Checklist tiene 25-30 items, todos con format completo
  • Review processes son specific con triggers y owners
  • Templates están incluidos como copy-paste ready
  • Governance structure es realistic para tu team
  • Integration con M1-M6 artifacts es explícita
  • Application step-by-step guide está clear
  • Document is presentable to external auditor

Validation: ¿Funciona?

Test el framework con scenarios:

Test 1: Engineer wants to deploy new AI feature

  • ¿El framework guides them clearly through requirements?
  • ¿Steps son obvios?
  • ¿Sabe quién aprobar?

Test 2: Regulator pregunta about compliance

  • ¿Podés produce evidence for each compliance area?
  • ¿Are there gaps?

Test 3: New hire joins

  • ¿Puede entender ethics culture leyendo framework?
  • ¿Sabe escalation paths?

Test 4: Critical bug en production

  • ¿Incident response template + procesos están listos?
  • ¿Sabes a quién notificar y cuándo?

Si pasa estos 4 tests, framework está sólido.

Conexión con M8 (Ethics Audit)

Este framework será aplicado en M8 para conducir una auditoría completa de tu sistema:

M8 Ethics Audit = Framework (this) + Specific System

Si tu framework está bien construido, M8 audit es structured process. Si framework es weak, M8 audit es improvisación.
