When This Score is High

What getting this right requires.

A score of 10 on Traceability means this dimension is fully resolved and no longer a constraint on the phases that follow. Here is what that requires in practice.

What each score level means.

The Autonomy Diagnostic scores Traceability on a 0 to 10 scale. Each point on the scale reflects a specific observable state in your organization.

1

No record exists of what AI has done in any workflow.

2

AI outputs are visible but the actions or decisions that produced them cannot be traced.

3

Some AI outputs are logged but the log is incomplete and not systematically reviewable.

4

AI actions are partially traceable in certain workflows but not consistently across deployments.

5

AI outputs are mostly visible but tracing a specific action back to a deployment requires manual investigation.

6

AI actions are logged in most workflows but attribution to specific deployments is inconsistent.

7

AI actions are logged and attributable in most workflows and are reviewable by leadership.

8

Every AI action in workflows is logged and attributable and leadership can reconstruct what the system did.

9

AI-generated interventions are fully auditable and the organization can reconstruct what the system did and why.

10

Every AI action in every workflow is logged, attributable to a specific deployment, and fully reviewable by leadership.
