Model risk management standards (SR 11-7) require that models used in risk decisions be validated by an independent party. In SAS Model Manager, which workflow element supports the independent validation requirement?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You need a workflow that keeps validation independent from development. SAS Model Manager supports role-based governance where a validator role can review, approve, or reject models before production promotion, satisfying SR 11-7.
Full Explanation
The role-based access control and workflow in SAS Model Manager is correct because model development and validation are performed by separate roles. The validator can review model documentation, performance metrics, and test results, then approve or reject models before production promotion, implementing SR 11-7 independent validation. The developer self-certification step is wrong because self-certification is not independent. The champion/challenger framework is wrong because automatic promotion without human review does not satisfy independence. The post-deployment monitoring job is wrong because monitoring is not the independent pre-deployment validation required by SR 11-7.
