Audit decision execution fidelity

Audit whether approved decisions actually became verified implementation at the promised aggregate-unit and component grain, with whole-unit bootstrap uncertainty and simultaneous gates for fidelity, overdue scope, unverifiable evidence, exceptions and critical gaps.

What it's for

Closes the gap between executive approval and operational reality: Gitrevio can show which decisions were actually implemented, what remains overdue, and whether apparent completion rests on unverifiable evidence or expanding exceptions.

What you give it

Inputs split into evidence read from your connected systems, calibration your team owns, and numerical controls that affect precision but never the result's meaning.

How it works

Statistical audit & measurement — Check whether a number is fit to decide on: coverage, timing, reconciliation, and the gaps a dashboard hides.

  1. 1 Freeze each decision's implementation contract, due period, required fraction, evidence standard, approved exceptions, critical components and aggregate implementation-unit boundary before inspecting outcomes.
  2. 2 For due commitments, reconcile observed-to-required completion without over-crediting, preserve exceptions as visible scope, and calculate weighted fidelity, overdue, unverified, exception and critical-gap metrics.
  3. 3 Resample whole implementation units and apply family-wide one-sided Bonferroni bounds so correlated component rows and multiple represented decisions cannot manufacture gate clearance.

Before you trust it

Every tool in the catalog ships with the conditions under which its answer is meaningful — and the conditions under which it should abstain instead of guessing.

Assumptions & guardrails

  • Metric definitions, weights, aggregate grain, sampling, missingness, dependence, and comparison windows correspond to the management claim being audited.
  • The frozen contract contains all consequential implementation work; due dates and required fractions were not rewritten after outcomes; aggregate units are independent enough for cluster bootstrap; evidence verification and exception approval are governed; offline work and failed attempts are retained.
  • Association, instability, or measurement quality is not a causal effect and must not be converted directly into an individual employment decision.
  • Execution fidelity evaluates a governed decision-to-implementation process, not whether the original strategy was correct and never an individual's effort, trustworthiness or employment suitability.

Minimum evidence

  • observations: at least 20 rows/items

How to validate it

Backtest the chosen action against simple feasible baselines on held-out scenarios, sweep costs/constraints/risk tolerance, and require constraint feasibility under adverse inputs.

Calibrating it to your org

Same for everyone

The mathematical kernel, validation rules, method version, and JSON output semantics are organization-independent; no tenant-trained coefficients or company benchmark is embedded in the function.

Specific to you

  • point-in-time decision implementation ledger joining the frozen approval contract to aggregate delivery evidence without dropping zero-completion components, offline work, failed attempts, future commitments or approved exceptions
  • decision/component perimeter, aggregate implementation-unit boundary, cadence, due and required semantics, evidence verification, exception approval, criticality, weights, minimum support, simultaneous confidence and practical fidelity/gap gates

Calibration workflow

  1. 1 Define the management decision, target outcome, aggregate unit, privacy boundary, cadence, and prediction/intervention horizon for this organization.
  2. 2 Build a tenant-scoped historical cohort using only information available before each prediction or decision; preserve zero periods, censoring, assignment probabilities, and unresolved outcomes when the method requires them.
  3. 3 Estimate statistical parameters on training history, but obtain costs, utilities, risk tolerance, practical-effect thresholds, capacity, and policy constraints from accountable decision owners.
  4. 4 Validate on later time windows or held-out aggregate units at the deployment grain, against a simple baseline and the function-specific validation strategy.
  5. 5 Deploy only if the returned decision clears evidence, overlap, calibration, robustness, and guardrail checks; warning, unsupported, schema-gap, and fallback decisions are abstentions.
  6. 6 Monitor realized outcomes, data drift, coverage, and decision regret; recalibrate at a governed cadence or after a detected regime/definition change, never merely because a stakeholder dislikes the result.

Call it from your AI

You don't wire up 388 tools in your MCP client. The GitRevio MCP server exposes 18 tools, three of which let an agent search the catalog, read a tool's schema, and run it — so the assistant finds this one on its own.

gitrevio_capabilities_search
  { "q": "audit whether approved decisions actually became" }
  → finds "audit_decision_execution_fidelity"

gitrevio_capability_describe
  { "capability_id": "audit_decision_execution_fidelity" }
  → returns the input schema and agent guidance shown on this page

gitrevio_capability_run
  { "capability_id": "audit_decision_execution_fidelity", "arguments": { ... } }
  → returns the result shown above

Works in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev, Goose and Aider. See the MCP server.
