Twelve Gates.
One Throughput Standard.
Zero Exceptions.

The governance blueprint that cut orthopedic ED wait times from 3 hours to 15 minutes across 130,000+ patient visits. 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 flow outcome. Each one answers a specific question the board will ask when throughput drops.

i.

Patient Flow Validation

Patient volume and imaging data verified at the boundary before AI optimizes scheduling.

ii.

Integration Tests

Full suite must pass against EHR and PACs. No urgency exceptions. The test failure is the deploy failure.

iii.

Change Verification

Hash-verified artifact comparison. If the throughput model 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.

Outcome Compliance

Outcome logging, model drift detection, rollback triggers, automated board reporting.
