Release Gate Checklist

Expand each gate to see its pass criteria. Check off items as your agent meets them. A gate passes when all its criteria are met.

Evidence Requirements Guide

Each gate requires specific documentation as evidence. This guide explains what artefacts you need to produce for a complete release package.

Australian compliance note: For agents handling personal information, gates 3 (Data Map), 6 (Safety), and 10 (Compliance) must reference the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian AI Ethics Principles. OAIC guidance on automated decision-making applies to any agent making consequential decisions about individuals.
