L4.15
Accountability and Traceability
Cards in this group · 5
- L4.15.1Degree of automation allocates responsibility, but users usually do not know which tier they are on
- L4.15.2Traceability requires recording input, decision basis, and result together; missing one makes replay impossible
- L4.15.3Logs must be kept until accountability might arise, not only as long as debugging needs them
- L4.15.4Handing final confirmation to a person does not mean responsibility has been fairly transferred; the person must have the conditions to refuse
- L4.15.5When systems are chained, the responsibility chain breaks at the interfaces; each segment's boundary must be drawn in advance
