Audit organizational change simulation integrity

Audit whether an organizational or technology what-if simulation is fit for reliance by checking point-in-time model lineage, local history, factor support, second-order dependency structure, calibration, scenario reconciliation and individual-level safeguards.

What it's for

Makes the private-beta What-If Simulator's local-data, Monte Carlo and second-order-effect claims auditable before leaders rely on a scenario.

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 scenario case, unchanged comparator, model version, baseline snapshot, decision time, financial basis and required factor families at the submitted as-of cutoff.
  2. 2 Verify that the effective independently reviewed model was trained only on earlier evidence, permits the change type, passed calibration, excludes prohibited attributes and has enough local history and scenario draws.
  3. 3 Trace every direct, second-order and recovery assumption to independently verified artifacts, enforce effective-sample-size and temporal gates, validate the factor DAG and require lawful-purpose, human-review, correction and access safeguards for opaque-subject scenarios.

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 eligible case ledger includes failed and abandoned simulations, subject references are opaque, snapshots and artifacts are immutable, effective sample size reflects dependence, and the dependency graph is a governed approximation rather than discovered causality.
  • Association, instability, or measurement quality is not a causal effect and must not be converted directly into an individual employment decision.
  • Passing establishes submitted evidence integrity, not causal truth, complete dependency discovery, personal suitability or authority for an employment, monitoring, procurement, rollout or migration action.

Minimum evidence

  • simulation_cases: required and organization-defined
  • model_versions: required and organization-defined
  • evidence_artifacts: required and organization-defined
  • factor_assumptions: required and organization-defined
  • dependency_edges: at least 0 rows/items
  • as_of_ms: required and organization-defined

How to validate it

Use chronological train/calibration/test windows, compare proper scores and decision value with a simple baseline, and recalibrate only from outcomes resolved after prediction time.

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

  • one tenant-scoped case bundle joining the exact pre-decision snapshot and effective model to every direct/second-order/recovery factor, immutable source artifact, support statistic and acyclic dependency edge without later evidence
  • permitted change types, scope and opaque-subject semantics, unchanged comparator, required factor families, history/calibration/support gates, scenario law, financial basis, prohibited attributes, lawful purpose, human review, correction route, restricted access and decision authority

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 an organizational or technology" }
  → finds "audit_organizational_change_simulation_integrity"

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

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

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