Ahead of a production rollout, someone proposes disabling several required questionnaire questions for a high-risk model to speed up sign-off. What should the team do instead to avoid the model slipping through governance with incomplete evidence?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Keep the required questions in place for high-risk assets. Disabling them doesn’t remove the risk; it only removes the evidence governance depends on. You need that evidence before sign-off, not after.
Full Explanation
The correct answer is to keep the required questions in place for high-risk assets, because those questions exist specifically to capture the evidence governance obligations demand; disabling them creates an approval with no basis behind it. The proposal to disable the questions as proposed is incorrect because it treats speed as more important than the substance of the sign-off, which defeats the purpose of having a gate at all. The proposal to disable the questions only temporarily and re-enable them after the model has already been deployed is incorrect because re-enabling after deployment means the evidence is missing exactly when it was needed, before the asset went live. The proposal to leave the decision to whichever reviewer is assigned to sign off that week is incorrect because it leaves a governance-relevant decision to individual discretion rather than a consistent, obligation-driven rule. For the exam, treat required questions on high-risk assets as non-negotiable, not as something a reviewer can waive for convenience.
