Twelve Gates.
One Standard.
Zero Exceptions.

The governance checklist that made AI board-defensible across $32B in hospital mergers and 130,000+ patient interactions. Built from production, not theory.

The Gates

Each gate is a commitment,
not a checkbox.

Twelve cryptographically-signed checkpoints between an AI model and a patient outcome. Each one answers a specific question the board will ask when something goes wrong.

i.

Data Validation

Clinical data integrity verified at the boundary. PHI exposure caught before AI sees it.

ii.

Integration Tests

Full suite must pass. No urgency exceptions. The test failure is the deploy failure.

iii.

Change Verification

Hash-verified artifact comparison. If the output changed, the reason is in the log.

iv.

Human Approval

Risk-tiered: above 85% auto-executes. Clinical decisions always escalate to a human.

v.

ProofPacket Signing

HMAC-signed audit trail. "Done" is cryptographically verifiable. Not a Slack message.

vi.

PHI Compliance

HIPAA logging, drift detection, rollback triggers, automated board reporting.
