Make the released system reproducible

A decision-support prototype is ready for a release review.

The model checkpoint is known but retriever settings are missing.

Before you read / Think it through

In “Make the released system reproducible”, what would you check or do first?

Pause and form your answer, then compare the reasoning. This reflection is not scored.

Compare the reasoning

Record the complete configuration and versioned dependencies.

The ideas below give you a method for this decision. Then work through the rest of this case and try the decisions yourself.

Documentation as evidence

Annex IV structures the technical documentation.

Keep it current before and after release as required.

In the workplace

An architecture diagram without operating context or tests is incomplete. Documentation should let a reviewer understand the evidence chain.

Remember this

Describe the real system, not only the model.

The workplace case
YOUR CASE / DOCUMENTATION LOGGING AND ROBUSTNESS

A provider has a promising high-risk decision-support model but cannot reproduce the released configuration. Logs contain only final scores. A connected document retriever sometimes follows malicious instructions in uploaded files, and reviewers cannot see which source version supported a recommendation.

Quick reference / five key ideas
Documentation as evidence
Describe the real system, not only the model.
Versioned configuration
Link changes to review and retesting decisions.
Requirements and tests
Record failures and unresolved limitations.
Automatic logging
Limit data, secure access and define retention.
Instructions for deployers
Make maintenance and relevant lifecycle information usable.
