Shadow Mode Model Promotion
Validate candidate models in parallel, measure real-world stability, and gate promotion with auditable, safety-first controls—before a model is allowed to influence outcomes.
Promotion without surprises
Shadow mode is built to prove a model’s behavior under real conditions—before authority is granted.
Parallel evaluation
Candidate and production models run simultaneously. Differences are scored without impacting control.
Promotion gates
Promotion is conditional on thresholds: accuracy, stability, divergence limits, and policy adherence.
Safety-first authority
Authority transfer is explicit and controlled—never implicit. Rollback remains available by design.
Traceable decisions
Every evaluation and promotion step generates verifiable logs for reviewers and regulated environments.
How it works
A simple, defensible flow that supports regulated and safety-critical environments.
Run candidate models in parallel
Evaluate a candidate model alongside the production model without granting control authority.
Measure alignment under real operating conditions
Compare outputs, confidence, and decision traces against production behavior and policy constraints.
Gate promotion with deterministic rules
Promote only when safety, stability, and drift thresholds are satisfied across a defined window.
Create audit-ready evidence
Log evaluation metadata and promotion rationale to support compliance, review, and post-incident analysis.
Why it matters
Shadow mode reduces deployment risk while improving traceability and operational confidence.
Lower rollout risk
Catch instability and drift before they affect operations.
Clear accountability
Promotion decisions are recorded with evidence and thresholds.
Faster iteration
Test candidates continuously without downtime or disruption.
