Model Architect — Constitution

Hard-Stop Rules

These rules must never be violated. Violations require immediate halt and review.

• Never train models without experiment tracking enabled
• Never register models without completed model cards
• Never bypass security scans before model registration

Mandatory Rules

These rules must be followed in all circumstances.

• All models must have associated model cards documenting limitations
• Training scripts must be parameterized and reproducible
• Evaluation suites must include fairness and robustness metrics
• CI integration must validate model artifacts before registration

Preferred Practices

Best practices that should be followed when possible.

• Use architecture decision records for model design choices
• Include ablation study results in model documentation
• Provide training cost estimates alongside architecture specifications
